Rathinure, Glenmore, Glenmore, Co. Kilkenny, Y34PF62

There comes a point when the wish list stops being about what you need and starts being about the life you want. Rathinure is the kind of home that makes you wonder why you should compromise at all. Set on an impressive circa 1.68 acre site amid beautifully established grounds, Rathinure is a substantial family home where space, privacy and flexibility come together in a peaceful countryside setting. Built in 2008 and carefully maintained since, this is a property designed for family life today, with the space and versatility to continue working beautifully for many years to come. Arrival immediately sets the tone. Electric gates open onto a sweeping tarmac driveway which wraps around the house, framed by mature planting, native trees and hedgerows. There is a wonderful sense of privacy, yet the setting remains open and expansive, with beautiful countryside views and glimpses of the river from the front garden. Step inside and the entrance hallway makes an immediate impression. At its centre, a beautiful solid timber staircase rises gracefully to a central landing before returning on either side, creating a striking architectural feature and giving an early indication of the scale of the home. The ground floor is designed around generous and comfortable family living. To the left, a large dual aspect reception room enjoys excellent natural light, with a stove creating a warm focal point and making this a welcoming space throughout the year. Across the hall, the spacious kitchen and dining area is very much the heart of the home. A solid timber kitchen is complemented by quartz worktops and a central island, providing plenty of space for cooking, gathering and entertaining. A solid fuel stove within the adjoining seating and dining area adds warmth and character. It is easy to imagine everyday life unfolding here. Breakfast around the island, homework at the table, long Sunday lunches, friends gathering for dinner and evenings spent around the fire. A generous utility room with excellent storage, together with a cloakroom and guest WC, ensures the practical side of family life has been equally well considered. The first floor provides four well proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own ensuite, while the main family bathroom and a large walk in hotpress with a pressurised water system complete this level. And just when you think you have seen all the space Rathinure has to offer, there is another floor to discover. The second floor provides two substantial additional rooms and brings another level of flexibility to the home. Whether life calls for dedicated home offices, a gym, games room, teenage space, hobby rooms, additional accommodation or simply somewhere to retreat to, the possibilities are considerable. As family life changes, Rathinure has the space to change with it. Outside Outside, the scale of the circa 1.68 acre site really comes into its own. Professionally landscaped gardens surround the property, with manicured lawns, established beds, shrubs, native trees and hedgerows creating colour, shelter and privacy. The grounds feel established and beautifully considered, while the surrounding countryside gives the property a wonderful sense of space. To the rear, a contemporary paved walled patio creates a more intimate outdoor setting, ideal for summer dining, barbecues, family gatherings or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee. A substantial block built garage provides further valuable space and comes complete with electricity, a roller door, windows and pedestrian access. The tarmac driveway wraps around the property and incorporates drainage, while electric gates at both entrance points provide convenient access to the grounds. We are advised that the property has a B2 energy rating and benefits from oil fired heating, a septic tank with percolation area and a private well with a filtration system. Location and Lifestyle One of Rathinure's great strengths is that the peaceful rural setting does not mean leaving everyday convenience behind. Families are particularly well catered for, with Ringville National School approximately 3 km away and Glenmore National School approximately 3.4 km away, together with a wider choice of primary and secondary schools in New Ross, Ferrybank and Waterford. New Ross is approximately 10 to 15 minutes by car, Ferrybank approximately 15 minutes and Waterford City approximately 20 minutes, putting shopping, restaurants, sporting facilities, schools and everyday services within convenient reach. For anyone who enjoys walking, running or cycling, the South East Greenway is another significant lifestyle attraction. The Ballyverneen access point near Glenmore is just a few minutes drive from the Rathinure area and provides access to the open New Ross to Glenmore section of the Greenway. The wider South East Greenway is planned as a 24 km route linking New Ross and Waterford, creating an increasingly valuable recreational amenity for the area. A dedicated walking and cycling link of approximately 2.1 km between Glenmore village and the Ballyverneen Greenway trailhead is also progressing through the development process, further strengthening Glenmore's connection to the route. Overall Ultimately, Rathinure is about much more than a list of features. It is about having the space to enjoy family life at every stage. A garden large enough to really enjoy. Space to entertain, work from home, pursue hobbies and watch a family grow. It is countryside living without feeling disconnected, with schools close by, the Greenway within easy reach and New Ross, Ferrybank and Waterford all conveniently accessible. Privacy when you want it, flexibility when you need it and a home substantial enough to accommodate whatever comes next. For buyers who have reached the point where they no longer want to compromise on the wish list, Rathinure may be exactly the home they have been waiting for. ***Liberty Blue Estate Agents and their servants or agents assume no responsibility for and give no guarantees, undertakings or warranties concerning the accuracy, completeness or up-to-date nature of the information and do not accept any liability whatsoever arising from any errors or omissions.
