Stunning period property blends history & charm

For a little bit of history with your property, buyers need look no further than The Mall Schoolhouse in Leap, a stunning four-bedroom period schoolhouse on a landscaped plot of a little less than half an acre.

This beautiful property, a former schoolhouse built in 1930, has been transformed into a stunning 4-bedroom family home, blending its historical charm with modern living.

Lovingly restored approximately 20 years ago, the house sits on a c. 0.3-acre landscaped plot, retaining its lovely stone walls and original chimney stack.

It boasts four bedrooms and is located in West Cork’s rolling countryside close to the coastal villages of Rosscarbery, Glandore, and Leap, enjoying some of the most breathtaking scenery in the county.

The rustic living room is homely, with wood panelled walls and floors, sash windows, and a stove. The kitchen is bright and boasts impressive light, giving an airy, clean ambiance, with an adjoining utility room.

Washrooms include one with a free-standing sink and large shower; three bedrooms are on the ground floor, while the first floor of the house is devoted to the main bedroom and bathroom.

Outside, a separate office is invaluable for those who want to enjoy the benefits of working from home, but with the security and benefit of a space distinct from the home. The whole house features a unique character interior also with gardens including a polytunnel and growing area.

The unique interior layout features a spacious open-plan kitchen/diner with country-style units and oak countertops, leading into a cosy sitting room with a stove and two large, west-facing windows.

Outside, the property boasts a long lawned garden, a polytunnel, and a dedicated growing area. The property is serviced by gas-fired central heating, mains water, private drainage, and broadband, with a BER D2 rating.

Pat Maguire Properties, Skibbereen, are managing the sale of the property which is guiding at €495,000, and viewing is highly recommended.
