Property for sale in Cootehill, Co. Cavan

Offers in Excess of €2million A fantastic opportunity to acquire a magnificent unspoilt country estate set in its own parkland with 1.7km of fishing rights on the Annalee River. The original house (built in the early 1600s) was later demolished and a short distance away the current house, a two storey Georgian four bay residence was built c. 1820 facing onto the Annalee River. The only complete Jacobean tiered walled garden and tea room, dating from c.1695, sit across the river and was originally aligned on the previous house, which stood on the opposite bank of the river. This is the first time this property will be offered for sale as it has been in the ownership of the current family since it was originally built. Rathkenny House is approached along a sweeping gravel avenue with the river to the right up to a gravelled forecourt to the front of the house. The avenue continues on to the yards and farm and onto the rear avenue. The house is in true Georgian proportion and laid out over two levels. One enters the house into an impressive hall which leads to the rest of the accommodation, consisting of a library with interconnecting doors to the large drawing room, dining room, inner hall, cosy study, kitchen, various store rooms and a cloakroom. All the first floor rooms have extensive original period features, original fire places, large sash windows and shutters, beautiful cornicing, ceiling roses, wooden architraves, flagstone floors and mahogany doors. All the reception rooms which have great height are bright and spacious have magnificent views of the Annalee river and countryside beyond.
