Asking Price: €650,000 Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 3
THE IDEA of going back to school and living there would seem like a living nightmare for most of us.
Yet for the people who purchase The Old School House in Kyle’s Cross, it may just end up being a dream.
Built in 1843, this Swiss-cottage style schoolhouse has been very cleverly and sensitively developed and enhanced to extremely modern standards.
While the house is built to very high specifications, it still manages to retain its sense of grace and elegance.
The house is situated on 0.86 of an acre with an option to buy more land if you feel the need to expand. Electronic gates protect the house and a gravel drive leads up to an impressive front.
When you walk in the front door, the entrance hall has solid oak floors and features a cathedral style solid front door.
On the ground floor there is a living room with reclaimed maple floor and an ornate marble fireplace. With three large windows and French-doors out to a patio area, this room is flooded with light.
The kitchen has eye and waist level WychElm kitchen units with beautiful granite worktops, an integrated oven and hob and feature exposed stonewall.
Again, with two cathedral style windows, this room is drenched with light.
Also on the ground floor there is a utility room, a WC, a dining room and a study with an exposed brick fireplace and wood-panelled ceiling. Upstairs in the large and airy master bedroom, there is a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite.
There are two other bedrooms upstairs, both with timber floors, and one featuring a cast-iron feature fireplace. The bathroom upstairs is very spacious with a freestanding, Victorian-style bath; tiled floor and feature exposed stonewall.
If you are looking for peace and relaxation but still need the convenience of being close to a major town, then this could be the place for you.
Secluded from the road, this large cottage would suit someone looking for a place to unwind and spend some time alone, yet with the room to cater for visiting friends.
Only 10kms from Wexford Town and 5kms from the Ferrycarrig hotel with its many leisure amenities The Old School House really is in the ideal location.
Mature gardens planted all around the house will offer a refuge from the helterskelter world outside and give the owner a sense of peace that is priceless.
With a number of fireplaces as well as oilfired central heating, the house will remain cosy throughout the winter months.
So going back to school does not have to be as terrible as you may think, with The Old School House offering a welcoming calm in a frantic world.
