History oozes from Rathville House

Rathville House is a five bedroom over basement home standing on six acres of gorgeous gardens.

Formerly home to John Henry Blake, a bailiff in the 1800s who in his time was described as a ‘monster agent’, this magnificent house is home to Florence Mitchell and has been lovingly cared for for more than 40 years, and each room tells a story.

Situated 1.5km from the dual carriageway, Rathville House is an easy 20 minute drive from Galway city and is within 10 minutes of Athenry and Loughrea.

The property has a traditional ‘upstairs downstairs’ layout, with the main living areas at ground floor and the original servants’ accommodation at basement level.

The property, approached by private gated drive, has extensive accommodation of c5,800sq ft, which incorporates all possible requirements. Indeed, some of the wonderful original features are a delight to see, including the old bell system and delivery hatch.

Rathville is a unique and wonderful home, majestic on its approach and exciting in its historical references.
