Description

A modern family home in traditional style with excellent equestrian facilities and four fields totalling seven acres in all. Up to an extra 150 acres of adjoining land may also be available.

First impressions of this property are excellent as you drive through the wooden electronic entrance gate down the gravel avenue to the impressive modern house that sits below. The avenue is flanked by mown verges and a quality post and rail fence on one side and a plantation of young trees on the other. The avenue leads down through traditional style gates to the gravel sweep to the front and side of the house while there is a tarmac area to the rear. Visitors are welcomed at either the front or back door both of which lead to the inner hall. The property sits overlooking its own fields to the front while there are smaller paddocks to the rear. The stable yard is located conveniently to the house but far enough away to be totally self contained. To the far side of the property is a vehicle parking area and an all weather riding area measuring approxinmately 60m x 35m with floodlighting.

The house was built approximately six years ago in a traditional style and to a very high specification. It is worth pointing out that the finish to the property is first class both to the interior and to the surrounding grounds and stable yard. The entrance hall which leads to both the front and back doors is floored in natural stone tiling and you will notice the Gothic style arched windows both to the side of the hall door and to the kitchen party wall. The living room leads off the hall and is of good proportions with a brick fireplace housing a cast iron stove. Also leading off the hall are the utility room and a wet room shower with w.c and a cloak area. At the other end of the hall is perhaps the most eye catching room in the house and where most families would spend the majority of their time, the kitchen, living, dining is an impressive space with modern oak kitchen fitted to a high specification, ample room for dining and a spacious family sitting area. The other reception room located adjacent to here is the playroom which would equally be suitable as a separate dining room.

The oak stair case rises from the hall to the gallery landing with its stained glass Gothic arched glass panel overlooking the entrance porch below. This combined with large Velux windows flood the upstairs with natural light. The four bedrooms are all of good proportions, the master bedroom with dressing room while a family bathroom, a shower room and a study complete the upstairs accommodation.

The stable yard is constructed around an old cottage and includes five stables with over-hang roof and a concrete apron. There ia a tackroom and a store for hay and feed.

The gardens surround the house and are mainly in lawn with shrub beds mulched in bark and a mature Sycamore tree which is a feature on the approach to the house. The four fields are lin grass and are well fenced and feature all new traditional style gates with recent fencing in post and rail and plain wire.

Whilst the property is situated in the heart of Co Antrim countryside, Ballymena can be reached in five minutes, ten minutes would leave you to the M2 junction at Antrim and half an hour to Belfast. In the opposite direction, Coleraine and the north coast are around 45 minutes away.. For a family with an interest in ponies or horses, this would be an ideal smallholding but it should also appeal to those with other rural interests, looking for a country house with some land.
