Description
DNG Dorrian are delighted to present to the market this distinctive former schoolhouse, originally constructed circa 1890 and later upgraded during the 1930s, which has since been converted into a charming two-bedroom residence while retaining much of the character and architectural interest of the original building. Occupying a peaceful semi-rural setting just off the main InverArdara road, the property enjoys an attractive countryside position while remaining within comfortable commuting distance of Ardara, Killybegs and Donegal Town.
The accommodation is full of individuality and period character, with many original features incorporated into the conversion. A particular highlight is the impressive double-height living room, where tall windows, timber wall panelling, exposed detailing and a traditional fireplace create a strong sense of the building's former use. An open gallery above further enhances the scale and character of this central living space.The adjoining kitchen and dining area continues the traditional feel, featuring exposed
ceiling timbers, timber flooring and a substantial fireplace incorporating a solid-fuel stove, complemented by a more
contemporary fitted kitchen. At first-floor level, the accommodation provides two bedrooms positioned within the characterful roof space, with rooflights, and painted timber ceilings. Throughout, traditional-style doors, timber finishes and generous window openings help preserve the charm of the original schoolhouse. Accommodation
