Red Dyke, 110 Galgorm Road,

We are delighted to bring to the market ‘Red Dyke’, one of Ballymena’s most iconic period homes which was constructed in 1902. This Arts and Crafts Grade B1 listed building is bursting full of original character whilst offering a practical living space.

From the moment you step into the grandiose hallway, prospective purchasers will be struck by the classic elegance of the residence, and the excellent levels of maintenance and presentation evident as they walk through. The floor space takes in roughly 4000 square feet, which includes all the accommodation you would expect in a property of this calibre.

Accessed from both the Galgorm Road and Grange Road via private pillared entrances, the mature grounds are immaculately maintained, and take in roughly 0.8 acre with excellent shielding from the roads thanks to the mature shrubbery, treeline and evergreen hedges.

In addition to the ‘Red Dyke’ residence, there is the option to purchase the neighbouring bungalow ‘Granok’ by separate negotiation, one of Ballymena’s most distinctive buildings, which offers c.1700 square feet of accommodation with garage complex and it’s own private entrance. There is outline planning permission in place for a replacement dwelling on ‘Granok’, as well as additional outline planning permission for a detached dwelling on the tennis court site.

Directly opposite Ballymena Academy and a short walk from other primary and grammar schools, the town centre and railway station are within comfortable walking distance. The bustling village of Galgorm, home to the golf course, world renowned resort and spa and a number of eateries are found a mile away in the opposite direction, whilst commuters can avail of the nearby A26 road network which offers easy access to the Causeway coast, Mid Ulster, Aldergrove Internation Airport, Belfast and beyond.

A once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a truly remarkable property which may also catch the eye of those with a commercial interest given the history and local interest.

‘Granok’, 108b Galgorm Road,  Ballymena, Co. Antrim, BT42 1AE

DETACHED BUNGALOW (c.1700 sqft) WITH OUTLINE PLANNING FOR SUBSTANIAL REPLACEMENT DWELLING AND OUTLINE PLANNING FOR ADDITIONAL DWELLING TO REAR – ON SITE TOTALLING 0.8 ACRE (approx.)

One of Ballymena’s most distinctive dwellings, ‘Granok’ is a spacious detached bungalow currently utilised as an office, but offers a multitude of uses in it’s current guise to include annex accommodation, Air BnB rental given the central location close to 4 notable wedding venues, studio or office space or as a principal residence in it’s own right.

The outline planning permission currently in place is likely to catch the eye of the private developer, who can purchase two sites in a highly regarded part of Ballymena. ‘Granok’ has outline planning permission in place for a substantial replacement dwelling, with outline permissions for an additional dwelling to the rear on the private and secluded site of the tennis courts and gardens.

For those on the market for a prominent and stylish bungalow, the accommodation includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, open plan living/dining and kitchen with utility, and is perfectly suited to modern living.

Tennis enthusiasts may wish to disregard the planning permissions and utilise the site in its current guise, which has a private court to the rear. The mature grounds total approximately 0.8 acre, and include a garage complex and parking facilities for numerous vehicles.

Adjacent to but independent of ‘Red Dyke’, the site is privately accessed from the Galgorm Road directly opposite Ballymena Academy, between Ballymena and the bustling village of Galgorm, home to the golf course, world renowned resort and spa and a number of eateries. Commuters can avail of the nearby A26 road network which offers easy access to the Causeway coast, Mid Ulster, Aldergrove Internation Airport, Belfast and beyond.
