88 Galgorm Road,

Positioned within mature, landscaped grounds including an enclosed walled garden to the rear, this imposing 6-bedroom Victorian semi-detached town property encompasses a spacious level of beautifully presented accommodation over three floors.

Extensively refurbished a few years ago, the original property includes many of the original features which have been carefully retained and enhanced marrying contemporary aspects to provide a stunning family home. Timber panelling and restored cornicing blend with new sliding sash windows, Herringbone parquet flooring and a mix of natural flooring to provide an overall aesthetic which is complimented with an array of improvements such as underfloor heating to an area of the ground floor and smart home technology both internally and externally.

In brief, this fine home features a lounge with Chesney’s logburner, a dining room with an attractive Chesney’s sandstone fireplace, a cloaks room, a walk-in pantry and an impressive open plan kitchen/living and dining area with bespoke painted cabinetry, a range of integrated appliances and bifold doors opening onto a sun terrace. In addition, there is a laundry room and a loft style media and home cinema room.

To the first floor, the layout has been cleverly remodelled to provide a master bedroom suite with a main bedroom, walk in dressing area and an ensuite shower room. The balance of this floor includes a generous family bathroom and second bedroom.  To the second floor, there is a shower room and four well-proportioned bedrooms with one currently used as a study. 

This really is a home designed for living and entertaining with the inclusion of a sauna and outside Kitchen/BBQ area with parking for a number of cars, a garage and garden store.

A distinctive home offering the unique proposition of a very convenient and prestigious location close to main schools, the train and bus stations, the town centre and within minutes of main commutable routes yet enjoying a private and tranquil setting.
