Description

Nestled on a mature five acre site, just outside the popular village of Cullybackey, this stunning detached gentleman's residence provides an excellent opportunity for a discerning purchaser to acquire a home that is simply oozing with character.

This property is grade 2 listed and was constructed in 1841 as the Original Craigs Parish Rectory. Although it can not be officially verified there is very strong evidence to suggest the property was designed by renowned architect Sir Charles Lanyon. Comprising five generous bedrooms the property benefits from two spacious reception rooms, conservatory and two further rooms that are currently used as a study and studio. The property has a modern fitted kitchen and benefits from oil fired central heating.

This secluded property is truely unique and was last on the market in 1971. We expect interest to be high, and as such an early internal inspection is essential!
