This is an incredibly rare opportunity to purchase one of the most iconic properties in the local Dunadry area comprising a beautifully renovated and substantially extended stone cottage located on a quiet country road between the hamlets of Dunadry and Parkgate. Originally built in 1757, the humble cottage at "Nilteen Bawn" led a very ordinary life until it was lovingly renovated and sympathetically extended in the early 2,000's into what is now a deceptively spacious three bedroom home with spacious lounge and open plan kitchen, living and informal dining area. With modern upgrades complimented by more traditional "Shaker" style kitchen units with polished granite worktops and centre island together with "Inglenook" style recesses for the range cooker in the kitchen area and the cast iron stove to the informal living and dining area ensuring a cosy feel within the thick stone walls and original vaulted ceiling this property has retained all the charm of a traditional Irish cottage with the benefits of modern living. For additional living accommodation the well proportioned lounge is accessed via a "secret" door and provides a generous yet cosy space boasting an traditional "Inglenook" style fireplace with inset cast iron stove and French doors opening onto the spacious tegula brick patio area linking onto the kitchen with informal living and dining room making this the ideal property for those who like to entertain in the summer months. The bespoke bathroom suite comprises a free-standing bath with complimentary large format shower cubicle complete with drench head shower and feature oval shaped sink unit in "Wenga" wood stand. With three double bedrooms to include a full wall of built-in pine wardrobes to the principle room and a generous utility room this property offers generous living space throughout with the additional benefit of a electric gates to a four car enclosed tegula brick courtyard and access to block built storage, tool store and garden room.
