A real country beaut and an area that is very close to my own childhood heart so biast or not as locations go this place is the stuff that dream homes are made of            

As you can all see the backdrop is nothing short of spectacular and it goes without saying that this in an area that is globally renowned thanks to the #darkhedges and #GameofThrones which has put our wee part of the world firmly on the map of places to see by millions of the population which is quite the claim to fame!

Picture perfect and the epitome of a traditional country home this Big Ballinlea Beauty boasts a super versatile, super impressive 2650 sq ft of accommodation and so much to offer the right purchaser.

The buyer of this one I reckon could be one of two potential scenarios the first it’s got to be appealing to young professional families out there looking to settle down in their forever home. Not necessarily locals because this location is perfect positioned for the commute and thee most idylilic place for a young family to grow and experience all the delights that country life can offer.

Secondly there is absolutely a tourism/business opportunity here. Check out the size of this site I’d imagine there is plenty of untapped potential beneath those lush lawns….

So lets begin the mega impressive breakdown of the magnificent 139a Ballinlea Road -

* Detached traditional country residence

* Detached Double Garage

* Situated in beautiful private gardens & grounds extending to approx. 1 acre

* Built in 2002 to high and exacting standards by builders who understood the assignment to create a substantial traditional family home in keeping with the surroundings and vibe of the location.

* Room sizes are superb and the entire layout offers a versatile solution to many different lifestyle scenarios

* FOUR supersized bedrooms (1 ground floor)

* Master Bedroom Suite (18ft!) - there’s not a female in the country doesn’t dream about a bedroom with walk in wardrobe & super spacious ensuite like this one and the views from all windows are absolutely stunning

* The setting is nothing short of spectacular and as pretty as picture all seasons. Bordered to the back with the River Bush as a stunning backdrop

* Move round the grounds all day and you will find yourself a perfect vantage point to enjoy from sunrise to sunset

* Stylish pavior patio & BBQ area for all the family & friends outdoor entertaining you can handle

* Outdoor electric for hot tub & exterior lighting

For me 139a Ballinlea Road has it ALL inside and out and of course we cant market an impressive home such as this without mention of the main attraction - LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION.

The Ballinlea/Chatham area has always been a highly sought after area offering convenience for the commuter to Ballycastle, Ballymoney & Ballymena. Location wise you are situated approx 8 miles from beautiful Ballycastle, 8 from Ballymoney & 3 from Stranocum which particularly for the commuter means super convenience to the A26 bypass.

You have the world (or the bus route) at your doorstep opening up the very best schooling options in Ballymoney, Ballycastle, Coleraine direction from Nursery right through to 3rd level education (in fact the Bush Valley Primary & Ballycastle High picks up straight from these gates)

This is one of those homes where it will be LOVE at first sight and I have absolutely no doubt of that in my mind so if this is the location, size & style of a home that you’ve been watching & waiting for then I warn you prepare to be smitten because the good clean air in Gods own Country is utterly intoxicating
