About this property

The School House, Patricks Square, Wexford Town

The History of the School House and The Classroom - A Captivating Journey Through Wexford Town's Rich Past
The Schoolhouse at Saint Patrick's Square, Wexford, was built in 1824 and is just a two-minute stroll from the bustling, historic main street of Wexford town.
Originally constructed as a Church of Ireland parish school for boys and girls, it served in this role for 133 years.
In 1968, it was purchased by the current owners' parents, who raised their family in the house and ran their business from there until 2020.
For the first time in its history, the old schoolhouse is opening its doors to the public, nestled in the heart of historic Wexford town.

Location
Located against the old Viking and Norman town wall—built in the 9th and 11th centuries—and beside the ruined twin-belfry-towered Church of Saint Patrick (built in the 1500s), the property also neighbours the resting place of rebels who defied Cromwell in 1649 and the slain Pikemen of the 1798 Rebellion.
The schoolhouse is a secluded haven of tranquillity and historic gravitas, only minutes from Wexford's Main Street and just 100 yards from the National Opera House at the Theatre Royal.

A Home of Two Characters
The property has two distinct characters:
One old and one contemporary.

The Upper House - The School House
This charming, old-world home accommodates three bedrooms, two large living rooms, and two bathrooms.

The Lower House - The Classroom
A cosy one-bedroom space with a pull-out sofa bed, ideal if you wish to unite all your family and friends under one roof.

A Message from the Owners
From our family to yours - our historic family home opens its doors - we do hope you enjoy your stay here.
"The property has just recently passed to the next generation of the family, who wish to share this jewel in the Wexford crown with those curious enough to visit with us on a historic experience of Irish hospitality like no other… you won't be disappointed!"

Roisin O.

Really enjoyed our stay at Glengariff. House was beautiful and everyone really enjoyed the house.

A few suggestions to improve... The games room - the kid's pool que was broken ( the top part) so they couldn't use it Sauna was a little finnicky to use

Full family trip

Perfect location and a great little town. The house was the best part and allowed a family of 14 to enjoy quality time, while each individual family has plenty of space for privacy.
