Few places in Northern Ireland have been untouched by the Open effect, and if you’re craving a quality home that brings you closer to lush green fairways then the prestigious River House on Lurgan’s Bocoonell Lane will tick all the boxes.
Nested in a valley on the outskirts of the Co Armagh town, this country house provides spectacular unbroken views overlooking a golf course. But there’s also a cycle path, picturesque farmland and the all-important seclusion when needed.
Tucked away in a very quiet and semi-rural location, properties in an area as coveted as the Claret Jug itself rarely come on the market. An opportunity to buy the house of your dreams, the 3,200 square foot home was designed by renowned architect Paul McCreanor.
Built in 2000 by a local builder for their own family to the highest possible specification, it sits on 1.25 acres of land sown to lawn and rockery, with a flawless gravel driveway and entrance.
Blending a country house feel with modern elegance, the home possesses a high standard finish and immediately makes an impression thanks to its sandstone steps and solid oak front doors opening to the entrance porch.
The spacious entrance hall is a delight, brought to life with partially glazed oak double doors and solid oak turned spindle staircase. The barn like architecture of the lounge and dining room delivers the perfect setting to relax and unwind, further enhanced by solid oak flooring, vaulted box beam ceiling, brick built fireplace with oak sleeper mantle, sandstone hearth and an Island 2000 multi-fuel stove.
In the kitchen, a beautiful bespoke oak and partially hand painted fitted kitchen is boosted with a granite work surface featuring integral drainers, inset stainless steel sink unit with mixer taps, glazed display cabinets, Rangemaster cooker, breakfast bar, Italian tiled chess board tiling and double patio doors leading to rear patio.
A stunning solid oak hand crafted staircase leads to a spacious galleried landing, double door hotpress and bedrooms that are illuminated by pitch pine flooring, some with dormer and skylight windows and beautiful views to front and rear of home.
Beautifully crafted, the white period style bathroom suite and ensuite shower complement the home in supreme fashion and have everything you could wish for. The property also comes with a study, games room and utility room.
Multiple spacious entertaining and recreational areas exist inside and outside, and the possibilities are endless.
Brick entrance pillars and a sweeping gravel drive leads to multi-vehicle parking to front and rear, while gardens laid to lawn with rockery and planted beds are bounded by a river.
Oxford Island, Silverwood Golf Course and numerous walks in the Lough Neagh area can be enjoyed time and time again, but the home’s location mean it’s also convenient for retail and business in Lurgan and Craigavon.
As the M1 can be reached within minutes by car, you are ideally placed whether you are venturing towards Belfast or heading west for Dungannon, Enniskillen or beyond.
A high quality standard of living that provides country tranquility and luxurious convenience awaits at Boconnell Lane’s River House.
