The Old Schoolhouse, Ballymount

€349,950 APPLETON PROPERTY, (045) 482 759

A TRIO of historical buildings stands at a fork in the road at Ballymount, Co Kildare, on the old Kilcullen-Athy road near the M9 motorway. One is the simple but appealing St Joseph’s Catholic church, and another is the former Ballymount school, now fully restored as a family home. It still has schoolhouse charm within, as the original features have been kept, but it’s been upgraded for heat and comfort with a C3 energy rating. It’s 1,975 sq ft with four bedrooms upstairs (one en-suite). There are two living rooms downstairs, both dual-aspect and both with stoves in the fireplaces, as well as an eat-in kitchen. There’s also a garage on the grounds.
