We are delighted to introduce to the market this rare opportunity to acquire two town houses and a commercial unit on the outskirts of Clifden town The old school house (formerly also the Connemara Pottery) is just a ten minute walk from Clifden town, five minutes from the Clifden Community School, Salt Lake, Rock Glen Hotel and the Connemara All Blacks Rugby Club. This “Old School House” was originally built in c.1838 and then it was the famous Connemara Pottery for many years and in 1996 the present owners renovated the building into two residential units and moved the pottery into the adjoining commercial building.
