This unique equestrian holding occupies an elevated setting on the outskirts of Ballymena and features a detached 4-bedroom contemporary country house set within generous gardens including a mixed orchard, a paddock extending to approximately 2.2 acres (0.89 Ha), stabling for 13 horses and ponies, a yard and sand arena.

The dwelling house which was constructed about 12 years ago, encompasses raised and vaulted ceilings, deep glazing which complement the overall appeal and layout with the principal reception rooms and master bedroom suite including full circular bays which not only maximise the views but also open onto the gardens. In brief, the accommodation includes a reception hall, cloaks/WC, open plan kitchen/dining space leading to a family area, side hall with utility room, a lounge, inner hallway with study area, main bathroom and the balance of three bedrooms.

The paddock is ideally positioned to the front and benefits from gated access from the gardens and from the main entrance while the yard can be accessed from a shared laneway and through the grounds of the dwelling house. The sand arena benefits from LED flood lighting and the stabling is contained within three blocks with one of the blocks capable of sub division to provide further stabling if required,

The location is very attractive and offers ease of access to the A26 for commuting with the A26/M2 link just over 1 mile away, Ballymena about 2.4 miles, Belfast 27 miles and Portrush around 33 miles.
