Droagh Cottage, 175 Coast Road

Description
This exceptional detached family residence dates to the 1820s and is situated on a magnificent mature site which extends to approximately 2.5 acres and allows spectacular uninterrupted panoramic views over the Irish Sea and North Channel including the Mull of Kintyre, Ailsa Craig and the Ayrshire Coast.

The property offers spacious, thoughtfully designed, family accommodation which includes an impressive reception hall, four reception rooms including a delightful first floor drawing room and a "Deck" sun room, along with a fitted kitchen and utility room on the ground floor.

On the upper floors there are four double bedrooms along with a family bathroom and a separate shower room. In addition, there is an adjoining one bedroom apartment accessed by its own entrance from the inner courtyard.

The generous accommodation is perfectly complimented by the surrounding, landscaped gardens in beautifully manicured lawns, with mature trees, an apple orchard and numerous sheltered seating areas, all of which offer an opportunity to appreciate the incredible views.

Convenient to the whole of the North Antrim coast including Portrush and Coleraine, the property is also within comfortable commuting distance of Belfast, is a 35 minute drive from both Belfast airports and presents a unique opportunity to purchase a family home with unequalled surroundings. Pods of dolphins and seals are often seen throughout the year and every room offers a sea view.

Viewing of this historic and unique property is highly recommended.
