Former Kilmacabea schoolhouse is now tranquil semi in Leap
Half a property that used to be a noisy schoolhouse is now an attractive three-bed semi in a tranquil rural location just over a mile from Leap village in West Cork.
Eight years ago the disused Kilmacabea schoolhouse was renovated, extended and converted into two houses.
The current owners bought this one, which they called Englewood, and have since used it as a second home.
Guiding at €195,000, the house is on the market with Sherry Fitzgerald O’Neill who say it’s nicely renovated and in excellent condition.
Ground floor accommodation in the 1, 150 sq ft property includes a spacious timber-floored living room which was part of the original building.
In an extension at the back there’s a tiled kitchen with timber units as well as a utility room and a guest WC.
Upstairs in the original section at the front, there’s a large timber-floored bedroom and a bathroom.
In the extended area at the back there’s a double bedroom with an en suite and a small single room.
Fitted with double-glazed PVC windows.
Oil-fired central heating and a solid fuel stove, the property has a D1 energy rating.
Out front there’s a long lawned garden enclosed by old stone walls and at the rear, accessed by a lane at the side of the house, there’s an entrance leading to a parking area.
A popular coastal village, Leap has a shop, pubs and restaurants and is within a short drive from Glandore, Union Hall and Skibbereen.
VERDICT: Within easy reach of some nice local beaches, it’s bound to attract interest from buyers looking for a West Cork holiday home.
