Glenairthrey sits comfortably within its grounds, surrounded by mature trees and planting which provide an excellent degree of privacy and create an attractive backdrop to the house.

The accommodation within the main house is arranged over two levels and offers excellent space and flexibility. On the ground floor, an impressive central hall provides access to the principal reception rooms, including a magnificent drawing room, formal dining room and separate sitting room. The generous kitchen is supplemented by a utility room and separate laundry, while a study and two WCs complete the ground-floor accommodation. The variety and scale of the public rooms make the property particularly well suited to both family life and entertaining.

The first floor provides five bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with en-suite facilities. Four further well-proportioned bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom, while a separate office offers valuable dedicated space for home working. The scale and arrangement of this floor allow considerable flexibility for larger families, visiting guests or those requiring a combination of bedroom and working space.

A particularly noteworthy feature of Glenairthrey is the detached cottage, which provides an excellent extension to the space offered by the main house. Arranged over two levels, the ground floor incorporates a generous sitting/dining room together with a kitchen, WC, vestibule and store.

This highly adaptable building lends itself to a wide variety of potential uses and offers valuable additional space separate from the main residence.

The southeast-facing gardens and grounds are an integral part of Glenairthrey’s appeal.
