Water's Edge, 13 Shore Road, Greenisland is an exceptional, detached, coastal residence occupying a prime waterfront position in one of County Antrim's most sought-after locations. Enjoying uninterrupted views across Belfast Lough towards Holywood, Belfast and its docklands to the right and over to Scotland on the left, this remarkable home combines architectural excellence with an outstanding level of craftsmanship and finish throughout.

Extending to approximately 4,000 sq ft over two floors, Water's Edge offers generously proportioned accommodation, elegant living spaces and beautifully landscaped mature gardens that frame the spectacular coastal setting. Designed by renowned architect Des Ewing there are 3 main parts to this unique opportunity as follows:

The original home – an impressive hallway with sweeping staircase to the first floor and leads a range of cloakrooms, WC, laundry room and side hallway to the annex. To the rear there is a stunning reception room with bespoke kitchen including island, large dining area with bay and a living area with fireplace. French doors lead to wraparound patios and terraces which spill onto the lawns which have those breath-taking views. Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms with 2 bathrooms, a landing connecting to the annex and then the main bedroom with spacious bedroom area, balcony and large bathroom with bath in the bay window.

The Annex – a Des Ewing designed side extension which seamlessly connects to the main home, there is the ground floor with storage cupboards, utility area to the right, an integral double garage to the left, WC and connecting hallway to the main home. This is then open to the stylish room to the rear with double height kitchen area with island unit opening to a glazed and comfortable living area with fireplace and sliding doors leading to a covered patio area which connects round to the original house main terraces. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms with dressing and shower rooms – the main bedroom with double height ceiling and a glazed balconette with sensational views.

The Boathouse Site – in December 2025, the Vendor obtained a Certificate of Lawfulness of Proposed Use or Development (CLUD) for a detached boathouse, designed by architect Des Ewing, for the erection of a 1 and a half storey dwelling. This is a rare addition to the value of the overall site as planning for additional dwellings are proving hard to achieve and it is a safe place with incredible views to protect value or grow investment.

To the side there are gardens, which have the planning for the boathouse, and to the rear there are rolling lawns with pathways on each side which lead to the granite soak away, seating areas and gates leading to the beaches and water’s edge.
