The Owner’s Perspective...
"We have enjoyed being the only owners of No 4, a much loved home with many happy family memories. The house is located in the heart of the friendly, welcoming community of Helen’s Bay, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, and set in secluded and sheltered south facing gardens.
It is ideally situated, within close proximity of the shore and coastal paths, Crawfordsburn Country Park and Helen’s Bay Golf Club. Cycling, swimming, paddle boarding and dog walking are some of the outdoor activities enjoyed by children and grandchildren over the years. The train station is just a few minutes walk, providing invaluable, easy access to Bangor, Holywood, the City Airport and Belfast.
Whilst we only needed the space of a three bedroom bungalow during our time here, there is potential to convert the roof space into a 5 bedroom house, should additional space be required."
