Description
Ballyhurst is a one-of-a-kind family residence extending to c. 363 sq. m. / 3,907 sq. ft., meticulously designed and finished to an exceptional standard throughout. This state-of-the-art home combines timeless elegance with cutting-edge efficiency, boasting a B3 BER, four-zone smart-controlled heating system, and a fully alarmed security system. From the moment you enter, the sense of grandeur is undeniable. The expansive entrance hallway, adorned with ornate ceiling coving, sets the tone for the superb quality that follows.
At the heart of the home lies a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area — a truly impressive space for family life and entertaining alike. The kitchen features a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams, a central island that takes pride of place, a Belfast sink and striking granite worktops and splashback. A red brick surround frames the range cooker, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern luxury. The kitchen and dining area flow through archways into both the living room and the sitting room, creating a seamless connection between spaces.
The living room boasts a vaulted ceiling and triple-aspect windows that flood the room with natural light also offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. French doors on either side of the room open directly to the rear garden, inviting a gentle indoor-outdoor flow. The sitting room, by contrast, exudes warmth and intimacy — the perfect place to unwind by the solid-fuel stove on winter evenings. Also on the ground floor is an independent lounge room, ideal as a family snug or media room. The luxurious family bathroom features a raised freestanding bathtub, surrounded by LED uplighting that creates an indulgent spa-like atmosphere.
Accommodation on this level includes a guest bedroom, the master suite with bay window, en-suite shower room, and walk-in wardrobe, and bedroom two, which also enjoys an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe. Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress. There are two further bedrooms, each with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room, together with a home office, a spacious pool room with access to a dedicated storage room, and a family bathroom on the landing. Every inch of this residence has been thoughtfully designed for comfort, flexibility, and style.
