Description
Set in mature gardens overlooking the surrounding countryside, we are delighted to offer this detached cottage to the market.
On entering, it is evident that heart of the home is the cosy kitchen / living / dining room, featuring exposed wooden beams, hardwood parquet flooring, and a cast iron wood burning stove. Leading from this is the bright garden room which opens onto the rear patio equipped built in bar-be-que - ideal for summer entertaining. The ground floor accommodation is completed by two double bedrooms both with built in furniture and en suite facilities, and a separate modern wet room. The first-floor hosts two further bedrooms, one with a dressing room and en suite.
The mature gardens, laid out in lawns, surround the cottage offering a haven away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. These are enhanced by generous patio areas which are ideally situated to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day and into the evening. The integral garage, car port and glasshouse provide ample space for those with green fingers or who require additional storage.
This beautiful home offers rural living with superb convenience. Whiterock, Ballygowan, Comber and Killinchy are all within a 10 minute drive, while Balloo is only ½ a mile away and boasts the award winning Balloo House pub and restaurant, The Crafty Fox gift shop, filling station and convenience store. Public transport to schools in the local area as well as Belfast and Downpatrick is accessible from Balloo Village.
