PICTURES: Former Clare school now restored into elegant home comes to the market for €575k

This truly unique four-bedroom detached home, beautifully positioned along the iconic Wild Atlantic Way on Corbally Road, Kilkee  is now for sale. 

Once the local boys school (1896–1996), this historic building has been thoughtfully restored into a warm, character-filled residence set on approximately one acre of meticulously maintained grounds with sweeping sea views.

Spanning approximately 30 metres in width, the property offers generous, flexible accommodation. There are four bedrooms in total — two on the ground floor with en-suites and two upstairs, each enjoying stunning coastal outlooks.

At the heart of the home is a cosy kitchen that enjoys an abundance of natural light through three rear-facing windows that frame views of the rolling countryside. 

A glass door leads directly from the kitchen into the living and dining room, a bright and light-filled space thanks to its dual aspect design. The front portion of the room enjoys views of the Atlantic coastline, while the rear dining area is bathed in natural sunlight, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the day.

The long, light-filled conservatory with large windows on either side, floods the space with natural light and offers tranquil views of the surrounding gardens and the south facing courtyard. This serene area serves as a peaceful reading room or relaxation zone.

Beyond this lies the original masters cabin which has been transformed into a self-contained guest wing, complete with a double bedroom (en-suite), compact kitchenette and a cosy sitting/dining room with stove and sleek laminate flooring which is ideal for visitors. 

The outdoor space is equally impressive. The rear gardens are gently elevated, offering privacy and uninterrupted views of both the sea and surrounding countryside.
