Here is an excellent opportunity to purchase what is undoubtedly one of the finest homes, not only along Seacliff Road, but also in Ballyholme. Constructed around 1845, Clonmel, 172 Seacliff Road, served as the club house for the Royal Ulster Yacht Club from 1872 to 1876. Steeped in history with charm and character in abundance, this outstanding substantial semi detached family home has stunning views over the Irish Sea, Belfast Lough, Antrim coastline and beyond, which certainly add to the overall appeal of this fine home. Undoubtedly one of the finest examples of how to modernise and renovate a property to bring it up to modern standards, whilst also retaining the character associated with properties of this era such as cornicing, high ceilings, working window shutters and ornate ceiling roses.
The accommodation is bright, spacious and flexible with a tremendous flow of natural light. The ground floor comprises a drawing room with solid oak herringbone wooden floor and a cast iron wood burning stove. There is also a superb and stylish modern fitted kitchen with a range of hand painted shaker style units, brass fittings, quartz work surfaces, a range of integrated appliances and a casual dining/family area. Upstairs, this fine home is further enhanced by having four bedrooms including master bedroom with fabulous sea views, original working window shutters, dressing room and en suite shower room. The second bedroom also has stunning sea views while the other two bedrooms have a delightful outlook overlooking the mature rear garden. There is also a main bathroom with luxury white suite. Other benefits include oil fired central heating, double glazed windows, boot room with laundry/utility area, ground floor cloakroom and WC, front sun porch, rear conservatory porch, large roofspace with potential to convert subject to necessary approvals and a spacious landing also with picturesque sea views.
Outside, a pebbled driveway to the side provides access to a detached double garage. To the rear, a mature tiered south facing garden stretches out from the property with lawns, shrubs and planting. In addition, a pebbled courtyard with outdoor WC makes an ideal summer sun-trap for entertaining. The stunning sea views can also be enjoyed from the rear garden.
This fabulous location offers ease of access to many amenities including Bangor town centre and marina, shops, cafes, restaurants, yacht clubs, schools, as well as Ballyholme village. Properties of this calibre and nature rarely make it to the open market and as a result we expect demand to be high across a wide range of prospective purchasers. A viewing is thoroughly recommended at your earliest opportunity so as to appreciate this stunning property in its entirety.
