Five of the best former schoolhouses

School’s out for summer - but that doesn't mean we need to say goodbye to schoolhouses!

By now your sons or daughters will have finished up for the summer holidays – primary schools in recent days and secondary schools some weeks ago, unless you had someone sitting the Junior or Leaving Cert exams.

Luke Kelly used to sing about ‘Schooldays Over’ but the schooldays never have to end if you live in one of these old schoolhouses.

With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of five of the best former schoolhouses currently on the market right now as residential properties.

Check them out below...
