SCHULL: €400,000:ANYONE YEARNING to escape the city and start living the good life could be interested in an old school and adjacent master's cottage in Lissacaha, a townland four miles from the harbour village of Schull in west Cork.
The house, a three-bedroom master’s cottage, is in good order, according to agent Charles McCarthy.
The old schoolhouse is currently a bright art studio with a vaulted ceiling.
Dating from the early 20th century, the two former Church of Ireland properties sit on around two acres of landscaped gardens as well as a paddock, and are for sale for €400,000.
There are good countryside views from the schoolhouse and cottage, which were renovated in the past 12 years.
Accommodation in the master’s cottage includes a good-sized kitchen/diningroom, a lounge and a garden room with double doors onto a terrace. There is an en suite main bedroom downstairs, which also has double doors to a terrace overlooking the garden. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The studio has two workshops and a darkroom. The properties were a knitting factory from the 1970s, and were bought as a home and studio in 1997.
