Welcome to your potential dream home—the Old School House—in Maam, Galway, Ireland. Nestled at the foot of the impressive Maamturk Mountains in Kilmilkin, Maam, this property is not just a house, but a piece of Irish history. Constructed in the year 1884, this two-storey marvel was once a cherished local primary school, serving the community until the year 1963. Thanks to careful restoration, it now stands as a comfortable and appealing family home.
Much of the original building has been preserved, but necessary adjustments have also been made to create a homely space. One such significant change came in 1978, when a first floor was added to the structure. This upper level consists of a well-equipped kitchen and relaxation-friendly living room, while the three cosy bedrooms and two refreshing bathrooms are housed downstairs.
Here are some key features the property boasts:
- Double-glazed windows for great insulation
- Enhanced attic and first-floor insulation
- A modern oil-fired burner
- Google Nest Smart Thermostat control
- Roof solar tubes
- A log-burning stove with a back boiler for heating and hot water.
The living room on the first floor is a sizeable, airy space, offering mesmerising views of the surrounding countryside. The solid fuel stove in the room further adds to the tranquil, cosy, yet exhilarating atmosphere. The neighbouring kitchen is well-fitted with integrated appliances, a built-in oven and gas hob by Zanussi, and topped off by a Kenwood microwave. The pleasing outside view and supreme lighting make the kitchen a delightful place to prepare meals.
