Description

No. 7 Old Rathmichael is a substantial detached family home situated on approximately four acres. With sweeping views across the surrounding countryside and out to sea, this exceptional residence offers a blend of privacy and space while also being within a 30-minute drive of Dublin City Centre.

Built by the present owners, this well-maintained home offers bright and spacious accommodation ideal for modern family living. The front door opens into a welcoming entrance porch leading into a dramatic double-height hall with gas fireplace.

To the left is an elegant triple aspect drawing room and dining room with feature open fireplace, wonderful sea views and access to the garden.

The heart of the home is the large kitchen / breakfast room that flows into a cosy family room with solid fuel burning stove. The kitchen is well equipped with a range of floor and wall mounted timber units with Granite worktops and garden access.

These rooms are flooded with natural light thanks to the conservatory style windows to the rear.

Adjacent to the family room is a playroom (or sixth bedroom), a large utility room with garden access, and a luxurious ground floor bedroom with sea views and a recently fitted Jack and Jill en-suite.

Also, on the ground floor you will find a home office, guest WC and access downstairs to a double garage.

On the first floor, a gallery-style landing leads to four generously sized bedrooms.

The principal bedroom features its own en-suite and balcony overlooking the gardens, while two additional bedrooms also benefit from en-suite facilities. A spacious family bathroom completes the upper level.

The grounds surrounding No. 7 are truly special. Mature shrubbery, manicured gardens, and sun-soaked patios with a south / westerly aspect create a tranquil setting for outdoor entertaining around the house. Extensive lawns to the rear stretch toward a private rewilded area at the rear of the property, offering a peaceful retreat with wonderful sea views.

This area would also be suitable for keeping horses as required and may have further development potential, subject to planning permission.

A double garage beneath the house includes internal access via a staircase to the main hallway, and ample off-street parking behind electric security gates is available for multiple vehicles.
