"Ardkeen", 71 Upper Road

Description
We are delighted to offer the unique opportunity to purchase this highly prestigious residence in a glorious location. Ardkeen was constructed in 1906 and has been lovingly restored by the present owners over the past 30 years. Nestled discretely on private grounds, the time is right for new owners to apply their own taste and style to this amazing family home and still being able to maintain Ardkeen`s original features and character. It is rare that an outstanding property of this calibre becomes available especially in the highly sought after area of Greenisland.

SITUATION
Greenisland is a popular rural townland with a range of amenities. The local railway station is a few minutes away and provides regular links to both Belfast and the ferry port of Larne. A complete bus service is also on your doorstep which provides local Grammar School travel every morning. Greenisland Primary School with an excellent reputation, is even closer. The Golf Club is within 400 metres and is both fully licensed and offers excellent catering throughout the day and evening. In the opposite direction, a short walk will take you to the petrol station with a comprehensive supermarket/off license.
