CO MEATH: €625,000:BUILT IN 1879 by the local landlords, the Winters, to provide education for the families who lived on the estate, the old school house in Agher, Summerhill, Co Meath, near the Kildare border, is now a 290sq m (3122sq ft) family home.

Savills is asking €625,000 for the house, which is set on an acre and which has three reception rooms, five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a contemporary kitchen. The current owners bought it in 1993 and renovated the house, adding an extension that is connected to the original house by a double-height atrium.

The gardens are simple but attractive and laid out in a series of small lawns and patio areas.
