The Craig is a private and recently built property in Northern Ireland’s most exclusive location which sits overlooking Belfast Lough and the County Antrim Hills, only a ten-minute drive from Belfast City Airport.

The property enjoys panoramic Belfast Lough views from most of the rooms – this is something which is exceptionally rare and hugely in demand in the very top sector of the Northern Ireland property market.

This is a detached two storey home which was constructed in 2003 and has had the benefit of a stylish and linear plan which extends to over 4,000 sq ft, all designed around elevated waterfront views. The entertaining rooms have views for days - leaving an instant and unforgettable impact.

The reception areas have a balance and proportion rarely offered in the Northern Ireland market, there are large rooms and private living and sleeping areas which will suit user requirements from a downsizer keen on entertaining, the professional couple keen to work from home to the large family– a home for all demographics.

The grounds and gardens are private and mature with plenty of areas to sit and take in the views. There is space for kids to play or kick a ball, for gardeners to exercise their green fingers and the triple garage and workshop is ideal for the car enthusiast.

With few opportunities of this calibre ever available to purchase in Northern Ireland, please contact David Menary on 07775557090 or [email protected] at your convenience to discuss this important opportunity.
