Property info

Rathlin Cottage - Position is perfect, practically a hop, skip and a jump to the town centre which can be seen from the front yard. You will get to enjoy the spaciousness of the three bedrooms and the well-appointed bathroom and ensuite spaces. The kitchen is highly functional. The open plan kitchen/living area is complemented by a rear deck and the added advantage of a sun-soaked conservatory. Excellent indoor/outdoor flow ensures you'll spend plenty of time outside and within the lovely mature garden areas. After a day’s fishing when you return home there is an outside kitchen designed for fish prep which can then be cooked on the BBQ supplied within its own covered area. If there was no catch of the day, then it’s an easy stroll to restaurants bars and cafes.
