Set within beautiful, generous grounds this distinctive detached 5-bedroom residence is perhaps one of the most exclusive properties to come to the market in recent years.

Originally built in the early 1900’s, the current owners sympathetically restored and extended the former property creating a truly magnificent family home of character.

Internally, the main foyer and entrance hall leads to the more formal reception rooms featuring a drawing room and dining room while an internal vestibule opens to an inviting family room with inglenook fireplace and the hub of the house, the kitchen dining area. This space features a bespoke hand painted pitch pine kitchen complete with a range of cabinetry and an Aga and leads to an informal sunroom which overlooks the gardens. In addition, there is a rear hallway with walk in pantry, utility room, cloaks/wc, study, and rear staircase.

An original front staircase leads to the main landing, master bedroom suite with walk in dressing area and an ensuite shower room, further bedroom with ensuite and a bathroom while a rear landing encompasses the balance of three bedrooms, a walk-in hot press, bathroom and a fully fitted separate dressing room.

Mature well maintained gardens surround the principal aspect of the property including a pond stocked with Koi carp while a courtyard to the rear includes a carport and garage.

The property also benefits from an additional gated avenue and there is an excellent yard to the rear with a range of spacious garaging and out housing providing scope for those with business or home-based interests. For the commuter, Belfast International Airport is just over 17 miles with both Belfast and the north coast approximately 30 miles.

Woodburn is a truly unique residence, well located on the periphery of Ballymena and ideal as a fine property to attain and enjoy for many years to come.
