Longhurst, 25 Creightons Green Road, Holywood, Co. Down, BT18 0HQ

Description

*STAMP DUTY WILL BE PAID BY VENDORS*
Tucked into the hills above Holywood enjoying stunning views over Belfast, Lagan Valley, the Harbour, City Airport and across the Lough to the Black Mountain, Antrim Hills and beyond, this stunning contemporary residence with equine facilities and art studio cottage is set in its own grounds extending to about 2.865 acres.

The residence approached from the country road via a short bitmac drive leading to the stable yard enjoys good privacy from its mature grounds which surround the property but is not isolated and is oriented to ensure that all principal rooms enjoy the extensive views.

The property has been extensively modernised over the years and is immaculately decorated and presented in a modern open plan style on two levels, designed to give privacy and space for adults and children alike, and ideal for parties spilling onto the terrace to enjoy the lights of Belfast below.

The equestrian facilities include a wide range of five stables, tack room, feed storage areas, railed illuminated all weather menage and trailer storage area which opens onto Brown Brae which provides idyllic hacking facilities and leads to a web of quiet country roads surrounding the property. A paddock opens from the driveway adjacent to the equestrian facilities providing private grazing / exercising facilities.

The property is located about 2 miles by road from Holywood and about 1 miles via Browns Brae which leads to the centre of the town, with Stormont, the City Centre, George Best City Airport, M1 and M2 Motorways and the finest selection of grammar schools perhaps in Northern Ireland, all just a few minutes drive away.
