The Kirk Road itself leads onto Gracehill Golf Course and The 'Dark Hedges' as featured in the Game of Thrones T.V. Series - with the Famous Causeway Coast literally another 15-20 minute drive.   

The house itself has been finished / presented to a superb standard providing 4 well proportioned bedrooms (master ensuite); 3 super reception rooms (including the triple aspect kitchen/dinette/living room), a luxurious bathroom, a spacious fitted utility – and with most rooms enjoying spectacular views over the gardens / surrounding countryside.

So although providing fantastic accommodation the same should appeal to a range of buyers as it can be easily maintained.  It would make an ideal family home, retirement or young family purchase - or could even be combined as a Bed and Breakfast – subject to any relevant approvals. Indeed in its present guise it really does offer a lifetime home.

Externally the property is bordered by landscaped gardens which are mostly laid in lawn with a variety of planting and bordered by a maturing hedges / shrub beds.  There is a spacious detached double garage and generous parking provision to the side / rear.  With a ride-on lawnmower the gardens are easily maintained with the same bordering the open countryside to 3 sides.  Additional patio areas are well situated to take advantage of the Vistas and the sun (when out!)

The current owners are looking to relocate and as such this is a super opportunity for a variety of potential buyers to purchase a delightful property in an outstanding situation.  Although please note that Viewing is Strictly by Appointment only.
