Occupying a generous site in the sought after Straid Road close to Ahoghill and the charming village of Gracehill, Ballymena, this impressive four-bedroom detached house offers a spacious living accommodation extending to just over 2,200 square feet with further potential for an attic conversion. Set on a substantial site, the property boasts three well-appointed reception rooms, providing ample space for both relaxation and entertaining. A separate study adds to the versatility of the home, making it ideal for those who work from home or require additional space for hobbies.
The heart of the home is a large kitchen, complete with an informal dining area, perfect for family gatherings. A spacious utility room enhances practicality, while the first floor features a large family bathroom and a partially completed ensuite in the principal bedroom, allowing for personalisation to suit your needs.
The property also includes a delightful PVC double-glazed sunroom at the rear, which invites natural light and offers a serene space to enjoy the surrounding gardens. Outside, the adjoining yard area, which can be independently accessed, is equipped with a range of outbuildings, including a large hay shed and an attached lean-to machinery store, providing excellent storage options or suitable for those who want to hobby farm.
For those with a passion for the outdoors, a large paddock at the rear presents opportunities for gardening or keeping animals. Additionally, the property features a full array of vendor-owned ground-level solar panels, promoting energy efficiency and sustainability.
This unique home also includes "monolithic" stone structure and a listed traditional Irish "Cruck" house, which is in need of renovation but holds potential for ancillary accommodation or an AirBnB venture. With the option for sale in one or more lots, this property presents a rare opportunity to create a dream home in a picturesque setting.
Early viewing strongly recommended.
