We are delighted to present this stunning period detached property in Bangor - ‘St Helens’. Dating back to 1858 all the beautiful period features have been retained throughout such as corniced ceilings and sash windows but has a sympathetic contemporary edge with some of the modifications made by the owner.
The accommodation comprises of a welcoming entrance porch and hallway, a drawing room with bay window, window seating and double opening pocket doors to the main open plan kitchen, living and dining space, with a contemporary double-sided woodburning stove between these areas. A clever gym has been designed (which could also have other usages such as playroom) with feature glazed mezzanine floor above and double opening doors to the side decking area which benefits from an outdoor cast iron stove, perfect for summer evenings. There is an enclosed private patio area from the rear hallway which has wiring for a hot tub and an electric awning, perfect for bbq’s and entertaining! On the first floor are three double bedrooms, one of which has fantastic sea views, an en suite and dressing room, a family bathroom, a snug (which could be used as bedroom five if required) and home office. The top floor has been converted to provide another generous bedroom with open dressing area and en suite shower room with impressive sea views! To the front and side of the property there are mature gardens with shrub beds and hedging, there is driveway parking for three cars with access to the garage.
Note, there is full planning approval for side extension to include dining space, boot room and storage, also allows for a larger courtyard area to the rear of the dwelling.
All in all this fine period home offers comfortable living in a home which has all the classic features intact yet benefits from the modern style of living. Ground Floor
