The Old Schoolhouse, Kilclonfert, Rhode, Co. Offaly
Where Heritage Meets Contemporary Country Living
DNG Kelly Duncan is delighted to present The Old Schoolhouse, Kilclonfert, Rhode, Co. Offaly, to the market for sale.
Steeped in character and thoughtfully modernised, this detached residence successfully blends the charm and craftsmanship of a bygone era with the comforts and conveniences of modern family living. Originally serving as the local schoolhouse, the property has been sympathetically converted into a warm and inviting three-bedroom family home, retaining many of its original features while incorporating tasteful contemporary finishes throughout.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both space and functionality and briefly comprises a welcoming entrance porch leading to an inner hallway, two beautifully appointed reception rooms, a bright and spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room, utility room, guest toilet, ground floor double bedroom and a generous family bathroom. Upstairs, two spacious double bedrooms are positioned beneath vaulted ceilings, with feature gable windows framing delightful views of the surrounding countryside and enhancing the unique architectural character of the home.
Occupying a beautifully maintained mature site extending to just under 0.5 acres, the grounds are a true highlight of the property. A gated, low-maintenance gravel driveway leads through established gardens with mature trees, specimen planting and raised gravel beds, all carefully designed to create a peaceful and private setting. A charming feature carp pond provides an attractive focal point, while a Belgian block patio to the front of the property offers an ideal space for outdoor entertaining or simply relaxing in the tranquil surroundings.
Perfectly positioned directly opposite Kilclonfert GAA grounds and the community centre, The Old Schoolhouse enjoys the best of country living with a strong sense of community, while remaining within easy commuting distance of Tullamore, Clara, Ferbane and Athlone.
Benefiting from uPVC double glazed windows throughout, a dual-fuel central heating system comprising oil-fired central heating together with a pellet stove incorporating a back boiler, this unique home combines character, comfort and efficiency in equal measure.
The Old Schoolhouse represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive period home where history, charm and modern living come together in one truly special setting.
Properties of this character and individuality rarely come to the market. Whether you're seeking a charming family home, a peaceful countryside retreat, or a unique property rich in history and character, The Old Schoolhouse offers an exceptional opportunity not to be missed.
