RURAL BLISS – Contemporary luxury living in the country.
Nestled in a special conservation area this beautiful modern family home enjoys a spectacular setting overlooking Aughnadarragh Lough with views across to Cave Hill, the Dromara Hills and the Mourne Mountains.
The architect has ensured that every room captures the beauty outside while internally cutting edge design offers a luxury standard of living.
This is a large and impressive country home which is surrounded by secluded mature gardens.
It offers an idyllic country escape while also being five minutes from Saitnfield and just 20 minutes from Belfast city centre.
The house was built in recent years to an exceptional specification and offers five bedrooms including master and guest suites, an Italian designer kitchen and three reception rooms.
There are high levels of insulation and under floor heating at ground level to ensure maximum comfort and the modern family can enjoy the benefits of multi room music and media systems and a central Beam vacuum.
Inside is a highly contemporary designer feel where large oak framed picture windows capture the beauty of the outdoors in every tastefully styled room.
A semi circular reception hall opens into a beautiful lounge with formal dining area.
This vast room has been cleverly divided with a simple change of flooring from carpet for the lounge area to ceramic tiling in the dining room.
An inglenook fireplace with stove and oak beam mantle is the focal point of the living area which has windows on every side.
Oversized windows look out over Aughnadarragh Lough in the family room which also has an inglenook fireplace with another cast iron multi fuel stove and simple oak beam mantle.
