The first feature one notices when entering this unique beach house is the beautifully polished crème marfil marble floor.  Imported from Spain it is truly exquisite.  High ceilings give a great sense of space and natural light is abundant offered by the internal courtyard light-well.  A beautiful hanging Italian light fitting throws crystal like shapes on the walls.

Corridor:

Continuing down through the house, recessed dimming spot lights leads one past the natural white oak floating staircase and onto the main living area.  Along the way, the internal courtyard gives a great sense of openness and one with the garden.  The sleek Smart home main control panel is located off this wide corridor.

Bedroom 1:

Located with a south facing window, this single bedroom could easily be used as an office given the ample sockets and phone connection.  A beautiful 100% wool carpet in mole/beige offers a beautiful contrast between it and the cream marble in the corridor.

Bedroom 2:

Again, located with a south facing window, this double bedroom comes with a large and beautiful oak built-in wardrobe.  The room also boasts its very own Smart home panel which offers te*ion and audio capabilities.  Another beautiful 100% wool carpet in mole/beige offers a contrast between it and the cream marble in the corridor.

With the same cream marfil marble on the floor and walls, this wet room boasts an Italian designed shower, sink, heated towel rail and toilet.  Designer lights softly illuminate the large mirror.

Main living Area:

Marble tiles embellish the three descending steps into this large reception area.  High ceilings again offer that sense of space.  Two hanging Italian light fittings throw crystal shapes against the neutral walls.  A custom made bookcase in oak is one of it’s main features as it covers one whole wall.  Floor to ceiling sliding doors lead onto beautiful cream stoned patio outside which extends this room into the garden.  A wonderful large open fireplace with mantle adds a very warm charm to the room.  This has also been piped for gas.

Kitchen:

The main feature here is the new electric four door Aga stove in pewter.  Two thick oak shelves with recessed lighting offer a real homeliness to this area which is ideal for those who enjoy to cook. Not only does this appliance offer warmth, it also blends in with a stunning 80mm absolute black granite worktop surrounding the entire work area.  Wall mounted units in champagne gloss offer great storage as well as housing under lights which illuminate the counter top.

An American style fridge is recessed into the walls and the dishwasher is integrated.

The electronically controlled sky light adds plenty of light along with ventilation.

An induction hob and oven are also fitted for cooking in the summer months when the Aga can be turned off if required.

An island unit perched proudly in the middle with a solid natural oak breakfast bar completes this fully functional kitchen.

Utility Room:

Located just off the kitchen holds the main engine of the house. Plumbed for all modern machines along with an abundance of storage space.  This room also houses the “Smart home” system along with the under floor heating control unit.

Bedroom 3:

Located to the rear of the house, this third double bedroom offers direct access onto the patio area which leads onto the back garden.  Its high ceiling gives a great sense of space and the abundant glazing fills the room with light.  Another beautiful 100% wool carpet in mole/beige offers a beautiful contrast between it and the cream marble in the living area.

Front Garden:

A rustique natural stone wall along with a secure electric gate forms the boundaries of Rathronan’s front garden.  The driveway’s gravel colour matches that of its walls.  Granite curbing separates the two flower beds and grass area from this driveway.  A lively chestnut tree provides old charm and sits proudly over the Lauras Nobilis shrubs hugging the boundaries.  The driveway can comfortably accommodate five cars.

Back Garden:

The patio area extends the downstairs living room right into the garden.  Flower beds housing shrubs give the garden a certain charm.  Steps leading up to the secure back gate lead one onto the sand dunes.  The garden shed located to the right is very useful for storage.
