THE MASTER’S HOUSECastledermot, County Kildare | Ireland

THE MASTER’S HOUSE

The Master’s House enjoys a superb location on the main street in the historical village of Castledermot in south Kildare, nearby to Carlow town and within easy reach of the M9 motorway [Junction 4].

Built circa 1935 to a solid construction the The Master’s House was utilised for many years as the school master’s house for the adjacent school. Purchased by the present owners in 1974 The Master’s House once again was utilised in conjunction with the school house next door. The arrangement of the accommodation is typical of the designs prepared for schools on behalf of the Department of Education.

The Master’s House had been used in recent years in conjunction with the old school next door, being utilised as additional guest accommodation for the restaurant and guest house business operating within the old school. The Old School House became colloquially and affectionately known as Doyle’s School House, a well-known and popular restaurant with bed and breakfast accommodation. The restaurant has been closed in recent years.

Alterations and/or extensions combining with the original accommodation to provide some 2,363 square feet or 219.5 square metres of total accommodation. Offering 8 bedrooms in total, 7 being within the house and 1 within the adjoining annexe. Since the restaurant closed the property has been utilised as a residence with two lettable apartments.

Although converted to maximise the number of guest rooms the original form and character of the house is evident and the extensions to the rear and side do not impinge considerably aesthetically.

The Master’s House could easily become a family home with small alteration and some upgrading and presents a unique opportunity to acquire a charming and desirable home on the village main street.

The entire site extends to approximately 0.27 acre or 0.11 hectare and benefits from an entrance onto the main street and there is off-street parking. The garden to the rear of the house is generous and currently laid to lawn.
