Red Cottage, 64 Hillmount Road, Cullybackey BT42 1NZ

Additional Information

This truly exceptional detached gentleman’s residence is situated off the highly sought after Hillmount Road, Cullybackey. The property is known locally as “Red Cottage” and was originally constructed in 1920 for the owners of the Frazer & Haughton linen mills synonymous with this area of County Antrim. No expense was spared on this six bedroom property when constructed and the current owners have continued this attention to detail with various additions over the years. The most recent of which have been a new kitchen supplied by “Teutons” with various Chalon units and bespoke hand crafted cabinetry and the family room with entertainment system and built in hand crafted furnishings.

The property is set in c. 4 acres of mature gardens with extensive lawns and low maintenance landscaping. A beautiful feature that is sure to resonate with potential purchasers is the mill race that runs through the property and “connects” the house to it’s heritage in the Linen industry. Viewers will find a hidden gem tucked away from the road with the only sign of the house visible to passing traffic the Terracotta roof tiles peaking over the hedging. Located within one of Ballymena’s most beautiful areas, the house is extremely convenient to a host of amenities in the surrounding area including convenience shops, the Galgorm Hotel and Spa and leading primary and grammar schools.

Red Cottage offers quite superb well proportioned accommodation finished to the very highest specification throughout. This stunning detached family home has been designed to provide flowing flexible accommodation with numerous original period details that have been sympathetically retained throughout.

Rarely does the opportunity arise to purchase such an exquisite family home with so much to offer in the way of location, accommodation and specification, thus early attention is necessary so as to avoid disappointment or simply to appreciate it in its entirety.
