Originally a traditional farmhouse, Rathmore House was built in c. 1890 and offers extensive and well-laid out accommodation set over three storeys.

Bought by the current UK-based owners 30 years ago, they treasured the property as both a home and a place for entertaining.

It is now in need of complete renovation and offers a unique opportunity to bring the property back to its former glory.

A sweeping driveway lined with mature trees leads you from the stone wall entrance to the front of the house, where there is ample space for parking.

The accommodation is laid out over three floors. Steps lead up to the main entrance which offers access to the front hall, study and drawing room.

The rooms are large, featuring high ceilings and original period features with light cascading through the large sash windows.

Continuing through we enter the back hallway which houses a beautiful cantilever staircase.

Towards the rear of the property is a large music room, dining room and traditional farmhouse kitchen followed by utility room.

There is also a pantry, and a basement which features a wine cellar and storeroom.

On the first floor of the main house, there are four master bedrooms in each corner of the building, and a family bathroom.

Above the original farmhouse, and connected to the main house, are two further bedrooms.

There is also a third-floor attic with three further rooms which can be accessed by the original service staircase.

The accommodation extends in total to about 9,233 sq. ft / 857 sq. m as shown on the accompanying floorplans.
