Description

Rarely does the opportunity to purchase a property of such character and history arise and as such interest in this unique property is sure to be very strong.
This property was built entirely at the expense of Sir H Hervey Bruce and was originally opened as a public elementary school in 1872.
Originally constructed of black basalt with freestone quoins and window surrounds with high gabled roofs, pointed Tudoresque windows and a slate roof, this fantastic building has remained largely unchanged from its initial inception.
The only additions to the original structure are a conversion to two stories, the Sun Lounge and Utility Area which have been beautifully incorporated into the main body of the property without ruining the esthetics.
After falling into disrepair, this Grade B2 listed building was restored to its former glory by the current owners, who have meticulously maintained the original character of the cottage while making this a most comfortable and modern family home.
Providing excellent views to Downhill Castle, the Atlantic Ocean as well as the surrounding countryside, it is only upon inspection that one is fully able to appreciate the many fine features incorporated within this fine 19th Century house.
