The Owner's Perspective...
‘Quarry Bank’ has been a very special home for us. We have enjoyed the total privacy of the site, complemented with undulating pathways around the property which can be enjoyed all year round. The highlight for us has been the spectacular panoramic views over the city which provide views of cruise ships and aeroplanes coming and going meaning it’s always an interesting, active site.
Although materials have been reclaimed from castles and stately homes, the property was only built in 2004 which means you are able to enjoy the best of both worlds – unique character combined with all the positives of modern, contemporary living. Although it is a large house, the clever arrangement over three storeys, means it feels cosy and homely and there are multiple areas to sit and take in the views over the pond and manicured gardens, as well as the cityscape which lights up like a Christmas tree at night.
We like to think of ‘Quarry Bank’ as a mini château probably helped by its baronial architecture, which was modelled on a stately home, Finnebrogue House.
We will miss summer al fresco lunches on the terrace overlooking Belfast, as well as regular soirées with the lovely community on Quarry Road.
