The Cranagh Complex, 78 Portstewart Road,

Marine/Leisure complex together with Restaurant, Dwelling House and Accommodation units situated on a site of c. 3.3 acres. The site has frontage onto the River Bann and is accessed via a right of way over an existing 2-lane roadway from the main Portstewart Road. This is a uniquely accessible point to the River Bann and is the only part of the river that is currently amenable to construct permanent furniture. The marina grants access to the North-Atlantic sea with no vessel bottlenecking infrastructure such as bridges or gates etc, making it a unique location for substantially sized private or commercial vessel access. The lack of overhead lines and clear level space on site further allows for helicopter access.

The Cranagh Marina offers over 240m linear length of pontoon units and has a large number of deep-water moorings (up to 4m draft at LAT (Lowest Astronomical Tide) level. On site facilities include toilet and shower facilities and a range of accommodation options as well as the onsite restaurant.

The complex is located on a prime coastal location between Portstewart and Coleraine, just opposite the University of Ulster Campus. Set on a mature setting with open aspect on the Lower Bann Estuary the property has easy access off the busy A2 main road to Portstewart and is located approximately 1 mile from Coleraine town centre.

Portstewart – Approx. 2 ½ miles
