Description

A delightful country cottage tucked away in the heart of the rolling Co. Down drumlins adjacent to Ballydyan Nature Reserve and with its own shady glade opposite, which is intersected by a stone bottomed stream.

The cottage located almost equal distance between Saintfield, Crossgar and Ballynahinch, is about 15 minutes drive from the edge of Belfast and within easy commuting distance from Lisburn, Downpatrick and Newtownards.

Internally the property boasts of a cosy lounge, conservatory, pine fitted and integrated kitchen, three bedrooms (one en suite) and principal bathroom. Oil fired central heating and double glazing are fitted.

The property is approached off the country road from the gravelled drive with ample parking space and leading to an integral garage, tack room and trailer park. The gardens to either side of the cottage are laid out in lawns and a mature stand of native trees with a fish pond situated adjacent to the kitchen and conservatory, a most pleasing feature in the garden. All of this combine to create a country home full of character and charm, impeccably presented to suit a family, couple or single person looking for their own piece of tranquility.
