Description

Dating from the late 1800s, this superb detached family home is creatively and beautifully presented by its present owner. This cottage-style residence has recently been refurbished and decorated, retaining the rustic charm and character of the dwelling whilst embracing the contemporary concept of today's modern living. Although a charming cottage style, this is a large detached property and all of the rooms are of excellent proportions. The laneway approach to the house leads to a private stone mix and brick paved driveway through impressive, original, black iron double gates. The partially wooded setting with lawned gardens and decked patio areas perfectly compliment this unique, high quality home. On entering the reception hall, one is struck by the double height ceiling and Minstrel style gallery which allows natural light to flood through the area. There is an excellent range of living accomodation including a spacious drawing room with custom designed fireplace, and square arch to dining area with access to the attractive rear courtyard garden. A gorgeous bespoke country style kitchen opens to a cosy family room with a multi fuel burning stove and a separate utility area. This home has an abundance of 'wow factors' and of particular note is the master suite with large boutique style ensuite bathroom and dressing area. The master bedroom opens onto a delightful private, sunroom with a French door to the garden. There are a further three bedrooms to the first floor, one with an en suite shower room and a large family bathroom with cast iron roll top bath and separate shower cubicle. This is a superb family home, ideally situated in a wonderful sought after location near Crawfordsburn village in Bangor West. It offers great convenience by road and rail, including main transport routes to Bangor, Holywood, Newtownards and Belfast.
