The original part of this property appears on the first ordinance survey map (around 1834) and therefore is of an earlier date than this.  Many historical features remain including a blacksmiths forge and an 1800’s horse walk which was used to power corn grinding or threshing.  (As seen at the Ballance House near Lisburn).


The current family home has been lovingly renovated and extended,  featuring original walls and beams and deep recessed windows.  The extension has been built to match the original thick walls and deep window reveals and includes a replica fanlight above the front door.  Even a curved corner outside the utility room has been retained.  This was to facilitate the passage of a horse and cart as it travelled up the long entrance lane, through the yard and around the house to a basalt quarry that was located at the edge of the, now forested, land.


The old stone walls still house the family kitchen and utility room.  Now, modern but homely oak kitchen units with an oil fired ESSE range and Belfast-type sink fill the space.   A Chinese slate floor and granite worktops from India complement the exposed original walls and beams. 


The spacious living room with study alcove has a wood burning stove and maple wood floor reclaimed from an old English mill.  Double doors lead to large conservatory which in turn leads to a patio area with its fabulous hand-built pizza oven.


The double-height hallway has an open staircase to a bright, airy mezzanine, useful for extra living, study or bedroom space.  Also included here is a floor to ceiling bookcase accessible from the stairs. The upper wall features a mural inspired by the current owner's years in Brazil.  To one side there is an enormous main bedroom which could easily be divided into smaller bedrooms. It has an en suite bathroom and small wood burning stove.  To the other side of the mezzanine are two more bedrooms and a bathroom.  Mezzanine and main bedroom are also floored with the reclaimed maple.


Outside there are well-finished patio areas, a terraced grass area, and extensive tree planting over several acres. The property is accessed via a long concrete laneway and  SMA surfaced yard.  Along one side of this yard, are restored outbuildings which have been converted into four garages (which could accommodate 14 cars), a bright, spacious centrally heated and insulated workshop, and several large storage areas.  A set of concrete steps leads up to one of these storage areas.  This was remodelled for use as a flat or holiday let, but the work was never completed.


Originally farm buildings, the three-phase electricity that would have powered heavy machinery is still connected and in use.  Three garages have concrete floors and one has a porcelain tiled floor providing a garage that is a pleasure to work in.


Approximately three acres have been carefully planted with a variety of hardwood trees, primarily Beech, Oak, Ash and Maple, providing shelter and a natural haven for wildlife.


A family home adapted for modern living but with its history carefully preserved, this property also offers privacy and country living.  In addition, the well maintained garages and workshop could be adapted to run a number of business types or used for leisure and hobbies. 


Located just half an hour’s drive from Belfast, the property is also just a few minutes’ drive from Ballycarry Village, Islandmagee and the Gobbins walk as well as Whitehead town with its train station, golf club and picturesque promenade and Blackhead coastal path.   The historic town of Carrickfergus with its Norman Castle is also close by.
