Property Description

Join Leinster Property Consultants as we step back in time with this rare opportunity to acquire a former schoolhouse dating back to c.1865, steeped in character and history, and set on a generous c.0.15 hectare (0.37 acre) site at Storemanstown, just outside Ardee, Co. Louth. Constructed in cut stone with distinctive red brick window surrounds and tall chimney stacks, this detached building offers enormous potential for those wishing to restore a piece of local heritage and create a truly unique home.

Although not habitable in its current state, the property represents an exciting canvas for a sympathetic renovation or conversion project (subject to planning permission). As there is a structure local needs will not apply. Eligible purchasers may also benefit from Government support schemes such as the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (up to €50,000, with an additional €20,000 top up for derelict homes), making this an excellent opportunity to restore the schoolhouse while availing of valuable financial assistance.

The schoolhouse sits in a peaceful rural setting, yet enjoys excellent accessibility. Ardee town is only minutes away, offering a full range of schools, shops, sports clubs, cafes, and services. For commuters, the M1 motorway is within easy reach, providing direct connections to Dublin and Belfast, while nearby Drogheda, Dundalk, and Carrickmacross are all easily accessible. This blend of rural charm and connectivity makes Storemanstown an ideal location for both families and individuals seeking character living within a convenient distance of major urban centres.

Internally, the building retains its traditional layout and soaring ceiling heights, with exposed stone walls, timber beams, and a striking central chimney stack, all features that will inspire a creative renovation. The property sits on its own plot of approx. 0.15 hectares, offering ample room for gardens, parking, or extension (subject to planning).
