72a Straid Road,

Every so often somewhere incredibly special comes along and today my friends the privilege is all mine because my newest listing has been an exhilarating experience and one of the most beautiful backdrops I think I’ve ever had the opportunity to market      

Its rugged, its pure and its utterly breathtaking and a location that dreams are made of almost equidistant between our beautiful Ballycastle & Bushmills and views over the open countryside and our majestic Knocklayde Mountain

Built by the owners to very high & exacting standards back in 2010 this stunning family home offers FIVE bedroom, FIVE bathroom, lounge/dining room, magnificent open plan kitchen/dining/living plus sunroom accommodation PLUS detached annex block (1200 sq ft) all within mature grounds extending to over half acre

So very grand reception hallway and you totally experience the finer points and a real sense of quality as soon as you step into the hallway with its minstrel gallery, beautiful solid staircase and internal doors

Off to the right and the lovely big lounge/dining with (25ft) enjoys multifuel stove just perfect for cozy nights in perfectly positioned at the front of this charming home

A cliché perhaps but the kitchen is almost certainly the heart and hub of this home. A versatile 31ft space offering open plan bright and airy space ideal for entertaining, dining or relaxation because gone are the days where the kitchen was simply a place to prepare food… Its so typically country kitchen and any folks into their cooking or baking will love the fantastic Rayburn stove

From the kitchen French doors lead to a beautiful sunroom with stunning views over the fabulous grounds & gardens.

Downstairs bedroom with fantastic built in double wardrobes enjoys adjoining luxurious ensuite (corner shower cubicle, w.c and wash hand basin with vanity unit)

Upstairs bright spacious landing with superb storage walk in hotpress.

Master suite with luxurious en-suite bathroom and walk in  dressing room with French doors to balcony offering the most spectacular uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside

A further 3 generous double sized bedrooms and luxurious bathroom completes the internal accommodation on offer in this mega impressive super sized home

My belief is that if you seek a home in the countryside it's never just about the house and that the outdoor space is as important as in.  With this fabulous home you can have the best of both those worlds because the beautiful Straid Road will allow you to enjoy your down time with the seclusion and privacy to go about your enjoyment of home and family life and transport you from the hussle and bussle of work life. 

The property is approached by sweeping stoned driveway & yard with parking for any number of different vehicles.

Extensive mature lawns to front, side & rear the total site extends to over 1/2 acre.

Detached Double Garage Block 28’5 x 24 with double roller doors with first floor provision made for studio apartment

When you consider in full all that 72a Straid Road has to offer - the physical accommodation, extensive very beautiful grounds, the setting, the spectacular panoramic views, the exceptional high standard & quality of finish (no short cuts nor cheap alternatives have been entertained), that fabulous kitchen/living/dining open plan arrangement, the location of dreams for our spectacular North Antrim Coastline – Ballintoy, Carrick-a -Reid, White Park Bay, Ballycastle, Bushmills, Dark Hedges & Giants Causeway its got to be totalling up as a pretty darned perfect dream home for someone.    

If not as a family home it may be of interest to the right purchaser that this beautiful property holds Tourist Board Approved status and in addition to tourism I believe that this property would lend itself extremely well to a residential care home facility

A home in first class order and condition well able for busy day to day life and its just the most idyllic place for a young family to grow and experience the joys that life in the country can bring.

I cannot promise you a happy ever after with this tale  – that’s down to you but I do believe that the unforgettable 72a Straid Road has all the potential to give someone an amazing exciting start to their next chapter...
