About The Brooks

Welcome to The Brooks in the village of Burnside, outside the Co. Antrim town of Ballyclare.

We are delighted to introduce a development full of character that enjoys an inherent sense of space, amongst mature trees and open vistas across the surrounding countryside. The result is an environment which embodies the character from of its surroundings, a memorable place where people come first and where residents can enjoy the village and rural surroundings as well as the public amenities nearby.

At its core Burnside retains its sense of community and these homes provide a wonderful opportunity for today’s young professionals and their families to become a part of that community.

It’s a safe and secure place to live, a place to create that dream home in the countryside, raise children and relax, and yet it’s convenient to nearby Ballyclare (3 miles), as well as the larger urban centres of Newtownabbey and Belfast city.

About The Brooks

Designed and built with consummate care and attention to every detail, The Brooks captures the essence of the country village of Burnside from which it springs. Yet at the same time, it creates its own unique character and provides distinctive homes for its purchasers.

Carefully constructed to conform to classical proportions the feature Mill House building (The Cowslip), actually 6 apartments, forms the heart of the scheme. A series of other houses cascade out from it around a central courtyard, combining a mix of semi-detached, townhouses and apartments. The subtle layout of public roads and private driveways gives rise to a seemingly random, but in fact carefully planned scheme that endows Burnside with the sense of being a village within a village.

Situated on the fringe of Burnside, the leafy character of The Brooks is enhanced by its backdrop of trees and hedgerows. The result is a scheme that is at home in the countryside.

The Great Outdoors

What could be better than living country with the convenience of a large market town just a few miles away. There’s speedy access to Belfast city centre via the M2 motorway, or convenient shopping at AbbeyCentre, a mere nine miles away, which caters for every shopping whim from foodstuffs to furniture, DIY to Hi Fi. For those serious shoppers amongst us there’s always Junction One, just a short drive up the M2.

The area is a paradise for sports enthusiasts, with four golf courses nearby (Ballyclare Golf Course is under two miles away), as well as ten public parks, plus fishing at Lough Neagh or Six Mile Water. Take a night out at the six screens in Glengormley or let your hair down at the Odyssey, then keep in shape at Six Mile Leisure Centre in Ballyclare.

Travel in and out of the region could not be easier. Belfast International Airport is no more than 25 minutes away, and the George Best Belfast City Airport can be reached in a similar time.

With all these facilities available, The Brooks is the ideal location for singles, families and professionals.
