'Ashens' is a unique site, primarily because the original dwelling was built in 1957 before Crawfordsburn Country Park was established. The site therefore enjoys an enviable position nestling on the perimeter of the park. A short stroll across 21 acre field leads to Swineley Bay and the coastal path. Walking the other direction is a short cut to Helen's Bay Railway Station, all without walking on any main road. The house was completely rebuilt in 1995 and is on the market for the first time in 44 years. Enjoy space, peace and tranquility, with picturesque Crawfordsburn village and the historic Old Inn, 10 minutes walking distance and Bangor a three mile drive. The topography of the surrounding area ensures that the site enjoys shelter from almost every direction, providing suntraps all day long. Bus stops to Belfast or Bangor are just 5 minutes walk and trains run from Helen's Bay and Carnalea stations. Conveniently Bangor and Holywood are only a short drive away for day to day amenities and schools. Belfast City airport is only a 15 minute drive and Belfast City Centre, only 20 minutes. The accommodation is adaptable over two levels. You are greeted by a large, bright and spacious dining entrance hall, perfect for entertaining. There is a fabulous living space with floor to ceiling picture windows looking out to the gardens and surrounding fields with an open fire. The kitchen has space for casual dining and living with an open fire and double opening doors to the patio and garden. In addition on this floor are four bedrooms, two of which have en suite shower rooms, a main bathroom and home office.
