Description

The Schoolhouse is a unique and character-filled detached home set on a c. 0.28-acre south-facing plot with sea & mountain views stretching across the Inny Estuary towards the 3rd fairway & green at Waterville Golf Links. Built in 1894 and serving as a National School until the late 1960s, this historic property has been thoughtfully transformed into a stylish 3-bedroom residence perfectly blending old world charm and contemporary features. Ideally located just a few minutes drive from Ballinskelligs' Blue Flag beach, Waterville Golf Links and the charming village of Waterville, and with Lough Currane also nearby, it’s the perfect base for golf, fishing, watersports and other outdoor activities

Accommodation

Fully renovated and extended 11 years ago, the works carried out brought about a complete transformation of the home’s interior delivered to a high standard. With a total floor area of c. 149 sqm the two-storey home offers an open-plan layout with a 7-metre-high vaulted ceiling and exposed timber beams, giving the home a striking sense of space and light. The ground floor features a large living room with a cosy sunken snug with a wood-burning stove set into the original stone chimney, a fully fitted kitchen with oak worktops and an AGA range as well as a glass-walled dining room with fine sea & mountain views. A few steps up from the main living area a half-landing leads to a bright and spacious double bedroom en-suite with French doors that open onto a private patio. Continuing up the staircase, a gallery landing with panoramic views accesses two further bedrooms (one en-suite), and a fully tiled family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. Outside, the grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature shrubs and original stone features that reflect the site’s history. A glass-fronted, insulated garden studio currently used as a painting room, adds potential, and a stone outbuilding, currently used as a shed, has scope for repurposing, subject to planning. Original boundary walls surround the property, including a charming, preserved section that once separated the boys’ and girls’ playgrounds. There are beautiful flagstone patio areas paved to the front and rear offering sheltered spots to relax, while the fenced rear garden provides a secure area for children or pets. The Schoolhouse combines historic character with modern comforts in a spectacular setting. With its proximity to world-class golf, scenic beaches, and renowned fishing waters, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind home in coastal Kerry.
