Additional Information
An excellent smallholding with impressive equestrian facilities, comprising a deceptively spacious detached bungalow with an original stone cottage annex, set within approximately 13.3 acres of quality agricultural land.
The main residence offers well-appointed accommodation including three generous bedrooms, two with ensuite facilities, a modern family bathroom with a white suite, a large drawing room with panoramic window, and a spacious open plan family, dining and kitchen area fitted with a comprehensive range of units. Additional accommodation includes a utility room and a generous reception hall, with an access door leading through to the annex.
Enjoying a delightful countryside setting between the Ballygowan Road and Old Ballygowan Road, the property is set well back from the road and approached via a long private laneway leading to a generous turning circle serving both the residence and the yard.
The equestrian facilities are particularly noteworthy and include 12 stables, a horse walker and a 200m sand exercise circle, making this an ideal opportunity for those with strong equine interests.
The agricultural lands extend to approximately 13.3 acres and are currently used for grazing and cutting. The land is thoughtfully subdivided into four fields and also includes a paddock to the front of the property.
The original stone annex previously benefited from planning approval for a replacement dwelling and may appeal to purchasers seeking ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is conveniently located just over one mile from Ballygowan Square, approximately three miles from Comber, five miles from Saintfield and around ten miles from Belfast. Ballygowan provides a range of day-to-day amenities, while excellent commuter routes and public transport links offer easy access to surrounding villages and Belfast.
