James L. Murtagh Auctioneers are delighted to present the former Rahugh National School in Rahugh, Kilbeggan, Co. Westmeath, N91 KW93 to the market.
Originally constructed in circa 1886, the building was in use as a schoolhouse and sits on a c.0.4 acre site. The building provides the potential for distinguished accommodation with various alternative layout options. The former classroom can accommodate a large open plan living space with plenty of capacity for a substantial and modern extension behind the formality of the original building. This is a unique opportunity to restore this schoolhouse with a mix of rural heritage and contemporary design, subject to the necessary planning consent. The site also has excellent re-development potential to construct a one off dwelling. We believe this is a protected structure.
As the residence has been vacant for a number of years, the new owners may avail of the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant. This grant is funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage through the Croi Conaithe (Towns) Fund and you apply to your local authority. The grant provides funding for the refurbishment of vacant and derelict homes. One can get a grant of up to ‘70,000 to turn a derelict house or building into your permanent home or a rental property.
Located approximately 8km from Kilbeggan providing an array of both social and essential services and amenities. Kilbeggan being situated just off the M6, on the main Dublin-Galway route means it has public transport options to these main cities. A townlink service also connects the main surrounding towns such as Mullingar and Tullamore.
Directions: From Kilbeggan, head southeast on Harbour road, travel for approximately 4.1km before turning left. After 1.8km turn left again, continue for 2km and the property will be on the LHS clearly identified by our James L. Murtagh sales board.
