On the market for offers around £599,000, number 79 Carrickmannon Road offers a masterclass in 19th Century elegance that is often imitated but never equalled.
Here behind a grand pillared entrance rests a home that exudes not only character and charm, but one that is also perfectly primed for modern lifestyles and with that, the demands of wide open family spaces and comfortable and convenient living.
As well as five generously sized bedrooms and a first floor home office – where working will surely become a pleasure rather than a chore – comes a wealth of shared open spaces for regaling with loved ones at the end of a busy day including a family room with cast iron gas stove, a drawing room with a cornice ceiling and dual aspect views of mature gardens which opens, courtesy of a square arch, through to a dining room and then onwards to a large outdoor patio boasting a southerly aspect.
Continuing outside, this property package set on circa 0.75 acres also comes equipped with a secondary set of gates which leads to extensive rear parking, a further double garage with a first floor space currently configured as a cinema/bar/gym and of course, a stable block with four loose boxes and superb first floor loft storage.
The opportunities for pleasure and business, given this amount of space, are excellent.
Returning inside, you’ll be met with exquisite design features, some old and some new, at every twist and turn as you explore the wealth of space on offer here.
They include the original front door with authentic double glazed side lights and top light; wall mounted radiators, slate hearths and cast iron stoves; porcelain tiled flooring and a bespoke handless high gloss fitted kitchen with all the mod-cons and more; an original carved newel post and turned spindle staircase to the first floor; an air circulation system and in the main bathroom, a Whirlpool type bath.
There’s plenty by way of wide open green spaces for rest, play and outdoor entertaining.
Commanding a picturesque surrounding rural outlook and attributes of countryside living this fine home also offers excellent convenience to local amenities and access to public transport links. The location offers ease of access for commuting to Belfast, Saintfield, Comber, Carryduff and Lisburn with excellent road networks.
Residents here are also within the catchment area for a range of primary and secondary level schools while the property is also directly adjacent to Carrickmannon Primary School.
Just one of many coups of a new life here at 79 Carrickmannon Road.
