With a covered swimming pool, detached double garage, and substantial outbuilding, this property offers space, versatility, and privacy in equal measure.

Positioned behind a wide frontage and generous driveway, Rathgael House combines well-planned internal proportions with expansive outdoor space, making it ideal for family living. Every room throughout the property has been thoughtfully designed to offer both practicality and comfort, with a seamless flow between formal and informal living areas.

The ground floor opens into a spacious entrance hall, setting the tone for the well-proportioned accommodation that follows. The heart of the home is the stylish kitchen, refitted in 2021, featuring plenty of worktop and storage space, an electric Aga, integrated appliances, and ample space for a family-size fridge/freezer. Overlooking the rear garden and patio, it’s a sociable and functional space for everyday life. A large adjoining utility room adds further practicality, with additional storage, laundry space, and access to the garden.

A separate formal dining room overlooks the front garden, while a ground floor cloakroom/WC completes the layout.
