11 Kathleen Avenue, Helens Bay, Bangor, BT19 1LF

Thornleigh is a beautifully appointed Helen's Bay period family residence enjoying a secluded position within its own established mature site. Approached through electronic gates, a loose pebbled sweeping driveway leads to the front of this beautiful home. Formal gardens laid in lawns surround the property to the front, side and rear. Mature trees, shrubs and planting frame the property beautifully whilst the elevated position commands views stretching to Helen's Bay Golf Course, the Irish Sea and Scotland beyond. This property has been the subject of extensive refurbishment over recent years. The result created is a most comfortable family living environment combining traditional values and period features with contemporary styling.

Detailed touches include chevron parquet wood block flooring, open fire places, cornice ceiling, ceiling roses, bespoke joinery and contemporary sanitary ware coupled with stylish tiling detail to en suites and main bathroom as well as a bespoke fitted hand painted Shaker style kitchen with full size Aga range, island, integrated appliances and granite work surfaces. The generous ground, formal gardens and stone paved courtyard ensure this property will have strong interest on today's market with the eventual purchaser having little to do but simply move in.

Kathleen Avenue is a renowned prestigious address within Helen's Bay and offers excellent convenience to Helen's Bay beach, the coastal path, tennis courts and Helen's Bay Golf Club whilst commuting is made easy via both road and rail. This property lies within the catchment area to a range of leading primary and grammar schools.
