A truly exceptional country home, thoughtfully designed with family living in mind. Idyllically nestled among rolling fields, no.19 is a beautifully renovated stone barn, complete with matching outbuildings. The property has been intelligently designed to incorporate a glass atrium connecting the two stone-built wings of the house. On entering, one is immediately struck by the attention to detail throughout, seamlessly blending old with new. We are drawn into the heart of the home; a spacious ink blue kitchen, open plan to casual dining with adjoining sunroom. Original stone walls have been tastefully incorporated into the room, as well as granite worktops and rustic pine mantles, adding a sense of character and warmth. This theme continues throughout the home, with many rooms benefiting from vaulted beamed ceilings. Of particular note is a large drawing room, situated above the kitchen. The room provides the perfect venue for year-round entertaining, with a sunny south facing terrace for warmer evenings and a cosy woodburning stove with original stone chimney breast to retreat to in the colder months. Enjoying panoramic views across the countryside to Strangford Lough, it is hard to imagine a more tranquil plot. The surrounding landscaped gardens have been well maintained, featuring a large pond and pergola. Included in the sale is a 1 acre field adjacent to the property, stone built barn and store (with potential for conversion to stables), and a double storey, detached garage, providing excellent potential for conversion into an annex. The property is set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, enjoying a very private aspect surrounded by its own grounds. It is part of a welcoming community along a rare no-through road, with high-end properties discreetly tucked away, yet it remains easily accessible to surrounding towns, Belfast, and the City Airport. Homes as elegant as this, yet practical, rarely come onto the market. We strongly advise internal inspection to appreciate all that is on offer.
