description
Occupying a gently elevated setting overlooking the A26 and located just 3 miles on the southern periphery of Ballymena, “Dunluce” benefits from an enviable position ideal for a purchaser seeking a property with commutable links on their doorstep.
Contained within one lot, this excellent property offers superb flexibility in terms of family requirements, as a home-based business/commercial entity or more specifically as an equestrian facility (subject to statutory consents).
Encompassing grounds extending to c. 7.3 acres including gardens, an excellent range of out housing, garaging and stabling with adjoining yards and a backdrop of approximately 5.7 acres of adjacent grazing land, the fine home that nestles within it was constructed over 30 years ago to exacting specification and finish. Approached through a gated entrance with neatly maintained and well stocked gardens to either side, it provides the inviting appearance of a main residence yet includes two self-contained dwellings linked within. The principle aspect of which includes a spacious level of accommodation extending to 3 bedrooms including a master bedroom with ensuite, bathroom, lounge, dining room, conservatory, kitchen/dining and utility room. The smaller element of the dwelling includes a lounge, kitchen open to dining area, 2 bedrooms and separate bathroom. Alternatively, there is the opportunity to create a larger dwelling as one if needed (subject to statutory consents).
With Antrim approximately 10 minutes’ drive, Belfast International Airport approximately 20 minutes and Belfast around 30 minutes by car, main destinations are easily accessible.
We strongly recommend viewing of this particular property to fully appreciate its scope, situation and potential.
