Tucked away at the base of a granite headland on the western end of White Park Bay is the beautiful and instantly recognisable picture postcard hamlet of Portbradden.

There are only a few cottages and homes before the original Salmon Port in this exclusive enclave, all which have breathtaking views over Whitepark Bay towards Ballintoy, Rathlin and Scotland.

Bay view Cottage is a charming, detached period detached house with plenty of reception space and entertaining areas with 3 double bedrooms, all overlooking Whitepark Bay. There is also a separate annex with 2 double bedrooms, shower room and kitchen living dining room beside the detached garage.

The overall site is c.0.5 acres with uninterrupted bay, headland and sea views over lawns to the front and sheltered patio and garden areas with private terraces and an original well to the rear, with the annex cottage and garage in front of the driveway and parking areas to the side.

This is a unique opportunity to acquire a detached home which has been refurbished to a lovely standard, also with guest cottage, both of which have a very lucrative short term rental income for when you are not enjoying the amazing setting and home yourself.
