Property: a stunning Cultra home where nature plays a key role

An award-winning design coupled with innovative use of its surroundings, this Cultra property with an asking price of £1.2 million is something to savour on all levels.

The main aim during the design of the exquisite property by renowned architects Hall McKnight in 2006 was to achieve a timeless modern look that would feel part of the ever changing seasonal environment.

A major factor in the creation of 8 Circular Road East was to maximise the privacy and lough views, with the beauty of nature playing a big part in the lifestyle of this home.

The dual aspect oversized windows for example allow light to flood through the house throughout the day and evening, making this a wonderful place to live. Masterfully created, all 3,500 sq ft of the property shines.

The design is as daring as it is beautiful and there is so much to admire in every room.

The detached home comes with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and three reception rooms.

The open plan kitchen and dining boasts access to the stunning living room with floor to ceiling windows. On the first floor, the glorious lounge is served by dual aspect windows that allow views over the lough.

The home benefits from underfloor heating and a beam vacuum system, while an integral garage and a utility room fitted out with additional kitchen appliances strengthen the property’s appeal even further.

A delightful private courtyard, accessed from the kitchen, is ideal for al-fresco dining and a generous fully enclosed rear garden comes with a raised deck and integrated lighting.

Cultra train station, the Holywood to Bangor sea-front and the Culloden Hotel all being within walking distance just adds to the incredible appeal and convenience of living here – it is easy to appreciate why Cultra is one of the most sought after residential locations in Northern Ireland.

The attention to detail and thought that went into its design has been rewarded with numerous accolades including winning the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Award in 2007, the RIBA Manser Medal (for the best residential architecture in the UK) nomination to a UK wide shortlist of four houses in 2007, and the Royal Society of Ulster Architects (RSUA) Commendation in 2007.

It is safe to say this fabulous home will provide the lucky purchasers with a wonderful lifestyle in a property created with comfort, luxury and pleasure in mind.
