60 Bridge Street,

60 Bridge Street, Kilrea thee most wonderful place with a legacy of 55 years of family, life, love and happiness. Built to last this lovely family moved in brand new back in 1968 and has fondly and proudly called it HOME every single day since.                  

The 'homeplace' there is absolutely nowhere like it. For those of you like me who were born and bred at an address for your entire childhood up until you flew the nest you will know exactly what I’m talking about.

There are of course serial movers - folks who love to flit & change every so often but I personally have a real affinity with this one not because its where I'm from but because I understand the sentiment behind the property and it will be my pleasure and privilege to find this beautiful home her perfect match

Honestly it positively radiates the warmest welcome and the most wholesome good old fashioned feeling of homeliness and nostalgia. Can’t you just imagine all the wee cups of tea in that kitchen and I am totally taken with the super cute original fireplace in the lounge.

In physical terms an incredibly impressive and super deceiving accommodation layout offering generous room sizes and 3 bedroom, 3 reception accommodation, absolutely fantastic DOUBLE garage and as you can see from the photos an extra generous private site (not overlooked to the front nor the back)

It’s always plain to be seen where a property has been loved, respected, maintained and improved over the years and our lovely '60 Bridge Road is a shining example of such TLC. In absolutely immaculate, pristine condition this is a home which has benefited from only the very best of the best and is both testament and credit to its family.

The 3 reception room accommodation offers a versatile space to a family in need of perhaps a playroom or home office but currently serve as – lounge, family room and dining (which was an extension in the 1980s open plan off the kitchen) 

The family/sitting room (would make an amazing home office/playroom/teenage gaming room) enjoys amazing natural daylight and beautiful outlook over those gorgeous rose beds   

The quality and style of the kitchen without a doubt has stood the test of time and it was the best of the best at the time but as with any second hand property the buyer will ultimately have their own ideas of what they want from the kitchen which is the heart and hub of any home

Upstairs 3 fantastic big bedrooms all with fitted bedroom furniture the pink one no doubt will bring back a few childhood memories for some (including me!)

The main bathroom is also on the first floor and it has recently benefited from brand new sheeted corner shower cubicle but you can of course rejig and revert back to bath.

Hardwood double glazed throughout and crucially has very recently benefited from a brand new central heating boiler so no concerns over replacement boiler being an unexpected expense any time soon…

Moving to the exterior and how’s that for extensive tarmac parking absolutely unreal! I don’t care how big your family is or how popular you are there’s sure to be ample parking even for plant/machinery/boat/motorhome/caravan to get everyone a spot within those gates

The double garage has got to be a major selling point and would be a perfect set up for someone to run a small business or who has valuable equipment, sports gear or work tools

If you are looking for a practical, well built solid family home with a super convenient location AND the potential long term to adapt to suit your individual needs I strongly advise you give this one a proper chance to impress.

This is an amazing opportunity for the right buyer who understands that the shiny newbuilds simply cannot compete with these older properties in any of the ways that truly matter -  size of site, accommodation, location and scope to grow

Kilrea is truly as pretty as a picture with a wonderful historic heritage offering all the perks of community spirit and village life which I firmly believe to be ideals for raising a young family. 

Within easy walking distance to the many shops & independent traders, cafes, Health Centre, chemists, petrol station, Post Office, leisure (the Lake Kilrea & Kilrea Golf Club) and Primary Schools 

Centrally located for the commute offering convenience to the bigger towns – Ballymoney, Coleraine, Portglenone, Ballymena & Garvagh.

It has been everything and so much more over the span of the last 55 years to its owners - a place of many wonderful times, a home that adapted to many life changes from raising a young family through to cherished grandchildren and a lifetime of very happy memories but all good things must come to an end to allow new ones to begin and that is absolutely the sincerest wish of my vendors to find a perfect match for this absolutely beautiful home
