6 Ard-Na-Ree

Set on an elevated site within a quiet cul-de-sac, just moments from the heart of the charming coastal village of Groomsport, this substantial detached bungalow offers a rare combination of generous family accommodation, spectacular sea views and an enviable coastal lifestyle.

From the moment you arrive, the setting is immediately apparent. The property enjoys excellent parking on a tarmac driveway, together with the considerable benefit of a large integral garage. Step inside to a bright and spacious entrance hall, with the accommodation arranged over two floors and offering an exceptional degree of flexibility for modern family life.

The ground floor provides three bedrooms and a bathroom with four-piece suite, making this level particularly well suited to families, those seeking single-level living or buyers requiring adaptable accommodation for guests or relatives. The living accommodation is equally impressive, with a truly magnificent drawing room enjoying triple aspect windows and glorious views towards the Irish Sea. Flooded with natural light, this is a wonderful room in which to relax and enjoy the changing coastal outlook, while a period open fireplace with decorative surround, dating from the late 1960s, provides a lovely focal point.

Semi open plan to the drawing room is a second versatile living area which could be adapted to suit a variety of needs. Whether used as a children's playroom, library, snug or spacious home office with a view, this additional reception space provides the flexibility increasingly sought after by modern families.

A large separate dining room can be accessed from both the living area and entrance hall and provides an excellent setting for family meals and entertaining. With ample room for a large dining table, direct access to the rear garden through glazed French doors and an open-plan connection to the kitchen, this is a particularly sociable part of the home. During the warmer months, the doors can be opened to create a wonderful connection between the kitchen, dining space and garden, making this an ideal home for family gatherings and summer entertaining.

The large, light-filled kitchen is well equipped with a good range of high and low-level cabinetry and benefits from a stunning Corian worktop installed in 2019. Practicality has also been carefully considered, with direct access into the integral garage providing an exceptionally convenient route for bringing in the weekly shopping.

Upstairs, the property reveals two further large double bedrooms, both benefiting from their own ensuites and adding a touch of luxury to this already impressive family home. The landing also provides easy access into the eaves, offering excellent additional storage potential.

Outside, the property is exceptionally well presented and enjoys gardens to both the front and rear. The elevated front garden is a particularly special feature, with spectacular views towards the sea and a constant reminder of the wonderful coastal setting. To the rear, the fully enclosed garden is mainly laid in lawn and complemented by a generous block-paved patio with a south-easterly aspect. A genuine suntrap, this is an ideal space for enjoying morning coffee, outdoor dining or relaxing with family and friends. Two large sheds are also included, providing excellent additional storage.

The property has also benefited from a number of significant external improvements, including a new roof, soffits and barge boards installed in 2023, together with upgraded uPVC sill covers.

Life in Groomsport is all about embracing the coast and enjoying the relaxed pace of village living. The historic harbour, beautiful open green spaces and one of North Down's finest sandy beaches are all close at hand, while miles of coastal walking opportunities provide the perfect excuse to get outdoors and enjoy the fresh sea air. Whether it is an early morning walk along the shore, watching the changing colours across the Irish Sea or enjoying a summer afternoon on the beach, this is a location where the coastline becomes part of everyday life.

The village itself has a wonderful community atmosphere, with a welcoming local bar and sun terrace, excellent independent wine merchants and a well-stocked Spar for everyday essentials. A number of events, fetes and community activities take place throughout the year, adding to the strong sense of community and quality of life for which Groomsport is renowned.

The neighbouring towns of Bangor and Donaghadee are both within easy reach and provide an excellent choice of schools, bars, restaurants, boutique shops, cafés and leisure facilities, together with convenient transport links towards Belfast and beyond.

This is coastal living at its finest: a substantial and flexible detached family home, spectacular sea views, generous gardens and superb access to sandy shores, open spaces and miles of coastline, all within one of North Down's most desirable coastal villages.

Properties offering this combination of space, flexibility and setting rarely come to the market and we anticipate strong demand. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the accommodation, views and exceptional lifestyle on offer.
