Mature grounds and swimming pool in Ratoath

Glascarn House, Ratoath, is one of those splendid detached country houses set in mature grounds that only come on the market in Meath once in a blue moon. Located two miles outside Ratoath village, the attractive residence affords spacious and well-appointed accommodation, including three reception rooms and four bedrooms (main en-suite), as well as an indoor swimming pool, garage and easily kept private grounds on three-quarters of an acre. With an asking price of €750,000 with TE Pottertons of Trim, the four-bedroom detached home has been well-maintained by the vendors over the years and consequently can be found in very good order throughout.
