Bough, Rathvilly

This exceptional detached country residence extends to approximately 417.3 sqm (4,488 sq.ft.) and occupies an idyllic setting on approximately 2 acres of mature landscaped grounds overlooking the River Slaney. The property offers 5/6 bedrooms, five bathrooms with extensive reception accommodation.

Approached via private electric gates and an impressive tree-lined driveway, the property immediately conveys a wonderful sense of privacy and exclusivity. The stunning brick façade enhances the home`s character, while the beautifully maintained grounds create an outstanding first impression.

The property was completely renovated in 2018 by opening, extending and insulating the open plan living space inside. A large picture window was created and a large three window sliding door was installed to allow for inside/outside living during the warmer months. A large patio area was created externally. Oatmeal Granite paving was used with step leading down to the lawn and play area.

Presented in excellent condition throughout, the residence offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over three levels, perfectly suited to modern family living. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, guest WC, generous office which could alternatively serve as a sixth bedroom, understairs storage, a spacious kitchen and a superb dining room extension creating an ideal space for family life and entertaining. The impressive living room is complemented by a substantial recreation room/snug to the rear, while underfloor heating throughout the ground floor provides excellent comfort.

The first floor provides five generously proportioned bedrooms, including three master bedrooms, each benefitting from its own ensuite bathroom. A spacious family bathroom and hot press complete this level. One of the bedrooms provides access via staircase to the converted attic, incorporating an additional bedroom, bathroom and storage room, offering excellent flexibility for guests or multi-generational living.

Externally, the property enjoys a superb south-facing paved patio complete with BBQ area, providing the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Steps lead onto extensive lawned gardens which blend seamlessly with the mature grounds.

Occupying approximately 2 acres, the grounds are among the property`s standout features. A paddock to the front is suitable for grazing, while three stables make the property ideal for equestrian enthusiasts. A private pitch and putt area further enhances its recreational appeal, and a substantial concrete yard offers potential for a workshop or additional outbuildings, subject to the necessary planning permission.

Adding further versatility is a separate two-storey cottage extending to approximately 87 sqm, comprising an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area together with two bedrooms and a bathroom.
