Description
Well situated on a level site of circa 1.0 acre, surrounded by garden and with a private approach along a short, shared laneway from the county road, the positioning of this home is everything. Sitting almost unnoticed in rolling countryside known as the Castlereagh Hills, Lagan valley, the famous Scrabo Tower, the stretch of water known as Strangford Lough and indeed the greater part of the Ards Peninsular are all clearly in view across what is best described as undulating farm land. Deceptively spacious in its appearance, the bungalow which provides some 3,500 Square Feet of accommodation offers enormous potential for improvement, or further development as required. While some modernisation updating and re-decoration are necessary, the present internal layout is spacious enough that it could easily be adapted for sharing with a relative, operating an office or business from home or providing additional bedroom space. Ample parking exists outside with space for stabling and small paddock to suit horse owners. A matching double garage is positioned to the rear of the site. Comprising briefly all on one level, THREE plus reception including a Dining Hall, THREE bedrooms plus a large Games Room which could easily be adapted as TWO more bedrooms. With the current restrictions and delay experienced in obtaining Planning Permission, this is one site not to be missed.
