A former Northern Ireland school in Limavady is on the market at £475,000.
Now a colourful country residence, the interior is a far cry from the days of teachers and lessons. The current owners of the old Balteagh School have renovated the property with a unique pink interior, beauty parlour and even an outdoor hot tub!
Resting on 2.2 acres, this “superb large family home” includes five spacious bedrooms, two reception rooms and a converted stables which is ideal for those working from home.
Potential buyers have been told this property is a chance to own “a truly unique rural residence.”
Located on the outskirts of Limavady, the Old Balteagh School is within commuting distance of Coleraine and Derry / Londonderry, the perfect area for working commuters who are looking to escape the bustle of larger cities.
Extensive work has been undertaken to create a home fit for modern family life. However, the hallways retain the “considerable character and charm.”
The hallway contains original Terrazzo flooring laid beneath carpet and a feature circular radiator. It is certainly an area that will capture any eye immediately.
The open plan kitchen / living / dining area has been designed to maximise natural light with large feature windows and roof lights ensuring that the heart of the home is bright and welcoming.
A four sided stove provides the centre piece of the open living area and adds a warming touch to an open space.
The kitchen is a modern area and contains a breakfast bar with granite worktop, integrated Smeg stainless steel appliances and a centre island.
The spacious lounge is found off the hallway and accessed through double glazed doors. A log burner set on a raised tiled area provides the focal point of the room and complements the rural surroundings of the property. An attractive stained glass window can also be found in the lounge along with a staircase that leads to the first floor landing with roof light.
There is plenty of room for all the family with 5 bedrooms, 2 of which benefit from ensuite facilities.
Behind the doors of the converted stables lies a hot tub room, with an eight seater hot tub, and a beauty parlour.
This beauty parlour contains a reception area, tanning room and a treatment room. It is perfect for those working from home.
