Macfin Road,

If you know me at all you know I truly believe that nowhere is simply bricks and mortar and this angel loves nothing better than a good story. Each and every property has its own story to tell and the truth is those four walls of the place we call HOME holds the tales of some of the happiest, saddest, exciting and most eventful times of our lives.      

This goes part of the way to explain my enthusiasm, interest and borderline obsession with my newest yet definitely oldest listing our Absolutely Amazing ‘Alderburne’ 62 Macfin Road because spring is most certainly in the glorious fresh country air in this true one off 

Now its safe to assume that no one reading this was around when this quirky, unique and very beautiful property was built (way back to 1830’s) but it’s very plain to see that our very special Alderburne has very ably has stood the test of time and is a testament to the good old days when they were built to last…

Interestingly this started out as home to Ballygan’s School Master and can you even begin to imagine the tales those walls could tell and the teachers, pupils and families that would have passed through over the decades!

It has of course been updated and impeccably maintained over the years but you'll be pleased to know so many of the pretty and original features remain intact. It’s absolutely brimming with charm and character and you could not fail to experience the overwhelming nostalgia and history steeped within these lovely four walls. 

It’s a 200 year old property so if you are obsessing on its old fashioned or the updating you would do then it's quite simply not the place for you. If like me however you love what you see so far then prepare yourself because I guarantee that the beautiful Alderburn will absolutely steal your heart away.

So lets start with the accommodation - offering a very versatile layout - 4 bedroom (1 downstairs) fabulous big lounge (22ft) and that welcoming and cozy wood burner stove is the perfect focal point in a room which capably fulfils a varied range of activity including relaxation, dining, entertaining, library, music and hobbies!

Traditional maple country kitchen, downstairs loo and brilliant big utility room complete the ground floor. First floor family bathroom with bath & shower and typically of these older properties the loo is separate 

The right buyer? I’m guessing perhaps downsizer who is ready to enjoy their retirement in the paradise of those beautiful gardens or someone relocating from Mainland UK to the Ballymoney area to be close to friends and family.  

It's also perfectly sized for a young couple or family with even a business venture in mind because you've the scope, potential and location to come along and create a home to enjoy and work from.

If you're seeking super slick, ultra contemporary, supersized rooms, ensuites and hi tech this property definitely isn’t for you however it’s a pretty perfect place if you’ve notions of living 'The Good Life'

There's ample space and opportunity to experience all a country lifestyle can offer from growing your own fruit & veg or keeping chickens/ducks/bunnies/pet lambs/goats etc and as for the gardening enthusiasts its bound to be heaven on earth. 

A super generous mature site with beautiful front, side and rear gardens offering the privacy and seclusion that so many of you desperately seek. Its postcard picture perfect and garden party ready the ideal balance of a semi rural location that also enjoys convenience to both Ballymoney and Coleraine

Detached garage  20’5 X 15 and workshop 13’9 x 6ft 

Alderburn has been everything and more over the span of the last 40 years to its family - a place of many wonderful times, life changes and 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 vendor to find a perfect match for this incredibly special home.
