FORMER SCHOOLHOUSE ON 1.16 ACRE SITE FOR SALE BY ONLINE AUCTION

Smith Property offer for sale by online auction this former schoolhouse property located at Knocknagillagh, Upper Lavey, Ballyjamesduff, Co. Cavan. The property comprises a derelict building in a state of disrepair and is expected to qualify for the Croí Cónaithe Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, subject to the necessary application and approval.

The building sits on an elevated site extending to approximately 1.16 acres with frontage to the Cavan Dublin Road (N3). The location is highly accessible, being 15km from both Cavan and Virginia towns, and offers a blend of countryside setting with excellent connectivity.

This property has an interesting history, having originally served the local community as a schoolhouse and, in more recent years, as a childcare facility. It is now vacant and in need of substantial renovation. We understand the property previously had a suitable sewage connection, which remains on site, along with a connection to the local group water scheme.

Due to its elevated position and generous site, the property presents an excellent opportunity to redevelop into a bespoke home or other suitable residential use (subject to planning). The scale of the site provides scope for landscaping, extension, or outdoor amenities to create a distinctive and unique residence.

This is a rare chance to acquire a property with character and potential, offering both historical significance and future possibilities for a discerning purchaser.
