Property Description

There are occasions when the word unique is totally appropriate and this must be one such time. Drumawillan Lodge is an exceptional home with approximately 10 acres neatly positioned around the main yard. Built around the eighteenth century the property has its own little place in history, as it was the former home of Colonel Boyd, founder of Ballycastle’s famous glassworks and tannery, until he moved in 1738 to be closer to his business at the harbour. The traditional stone built building was purchased by its owners in 2005 and it is believed that they are only the 6th family to have lived at this address. Back in 1995 the property was totally renovated much of the character and flair found in properties of this era. Drumawillan Lodge is situated within an area of outstanding natural beauty, within the picturesque setting of Glentaisie, one of the famous nine Glens of Antrim. The property also offers outline planning permission for a dwelling to the side within one of the old outbuildings and also offers further development potential (Subject to planning).
