Property description
Built around 200 years ago, Ballymenoch House is a striking traditional stone built detached residence that sits in beautifully presented and mature gardens. The gardens are all on the level and feature extensive gravelled parking, large lawns and bedded areas, completely enclosed by mature hedging, trees and stone walls, offering a great deal of privacy. With the majority of the gardens being south facing, they enjoy all day long sunshine.
The house itself is formed over two levels and extends to over 3300 square feet. The layout is perfect for the larger family and combines beautiful period details with a modern specification. The property has a large double garage, with electrically operated doors and with power and light laid on. There is also an external garden store, boiler cupboard, greenhouse and potting shed.
To the side of the house, there is an attached two storey, self-contained two bedroomed cottage to the west side. The cottage extends to around 635 square feet and it has also been completely renovated in the past few years to an exceptional standard. It is now run as a successful and lucrative Air BnB property and there are two dedicated private parking spaces adjacent to the cottage. Alternatively, the cottage would be perfect for use by extended family or private guests.
