“THE ROCK SCHOOL”

“The Rock School” (St. Josephs Convent School) was constructed in 1921 to serve the local community at “ The Rock” with The Sisters of Mercy from The Convent in Arklow in attendance. It was later taken in charge by the Department of Education and functioned as a National School until 1969 when it became a Community Hall for the Castletown Parish. It later functioned as a Residence for The Catholic Youth Council until recently. The Property occupies an unrivalled location at the Arklow Rock with a lovely Rear Southerly Aspect. The building is roughly rectangular in plan but with canted bays to the North and South Elevations and an extension to the East Corner. The façade is finished in plaster with Red Brick Dressings to the Openings. The slated roof is topped with feature ridge tiles and has a red brick chimneystack. The entrance is set within a recessed porch to the West Corner. The windows are largely flat-headed and have timber Georgian styled frames. The Property has a roadside setting but is surrounded by large Private Gardens and adjoins Farmland. Within moments Walk to Clogga Strand and Arklow’s South Beach. Arklow’s Town Amities including the New Bridgewater Complex are a Short Drive away. The Property retains all of its Original Charm and Features and offers the New Owner the Opportunity to Develop the Property (S.T.P.P.).
