This three storey property is half of Langdale House. It was originally a much smaller dwelling which was considerably extended around 1900 by George Allen, a local boy who made good in America. The house was divided in the 1930s. It is featured in Donald Akenson’s history of Islandmagee “Between Two Revolutions”. Hardly a surprise as the book was written in the house. Although completely modernised and benefiting from fast broadband, the house retains many period features and has great views of Larne Lough. It is fully double glazed and has full oil-fired central heating with thermostatically controlled radiators. It is in very good decorative order and has convenient local shops and easy access to Larne, Carrickfergus, Belfast and the scenic Coast Road. Islandmagee itself offers a wide range of recreational sites and opportunities. There is also an excellent rail service from either Ballycarry or Whitehead.
