This is an incredibly rare opportunity to purchase an elegant two storey four bedroom detached house (in need of some updating) with three reception rooms, large conservatory, spacious rear hall and ground floor shower room with W/C to compliment the first floor bathroom and all occupying a mature, elevated site on the outskirts of Ballymena town centre yet within easy access of all local amenities and in particular Carniny Primary School for those with young children.
With the house, yard, front paddock and surrounding field occupying a total area of circa 2.9 acres, this property is ideally suited to anyone with an equestrian interest or a desire to plant woodland together with those who just want to secure their privacy and enjoy the surrounding nature.
Although the property is being offered to the market as a private home it should also be noted that a portion of the site has obtained outline planning permission with a concept plan for up to 14 residential units in the form of 8 detached and 6 semi-detached two storey properties. Please note, this would require the demolition of the existing property.
The outline planning permission was granted on 15th February, 2024 and the full details may be found on the NI Planning Portal under Application No; LA02/2023/2040/O.
