If you could handpick a place to live in Northern Ireland, Portstewart or the surrounding area would surely feature very close to the top of that list.
This part of the north coast has an embarrassment of riches that it’s really quite the easy sell. Where do you start?
There’s not enough superlatives to describe the coastline with miles of golden Blue Flag beaches, but there are many significant developments that illustrate just how much this area is thriving in recent times.
For example, the world’s most prestigious golf tournament, The Open, arrives at Royal Portrush next summer, while Portstewart Strand was used as a filming location for Game of Thrones.
Interestingly, most places used across the north for the hit TV series help recreate the cold wilderness of the fictional north kingdom of Westeros. It does a pretty good job at it.
But in the case of Portstewart Strand, it convincingly stood in for the sun-drenched coastline of the Dornish kingdom, located in a much warmer and sunnier climate in southern Westeros.
It really is true what they say - on the occasion when the Irish weather does get it right, you could be anywhere.
With Portstewart’s leisure lifestyle well and truly established, all you need is a property to match.
That’s were The Hatherans - an excellent range of high quality homes located a five minute from the strand - come in.
Each home is designed with an exquisite contemporary finish, crafted to the highest standard to complement the stunning Causeway Coast.
The open and generous living areas create the ideal space for modern and active lifestyles.
Highlights include bespoke contemporary kitchens with a selection of doors, worktops and handles, planned to suit your home, with an emphasis for entertaining and relaxing.
In the bathrooms, thermostatically controlled showers ensure instant hot water while the living area are wired for electric fires when the need arises.
Tasteful interior decoration, including solid modern internal doors, impresses throughout, and the exceptional finish in every room ensures properties in The Hatherans lives up to its “Live, Relax, Unwind” motto.
The development’s brochure outlines the proximity of other nearby attractions.
Portballintrae, White Rocks and Portrush Harbour are within mere miles.
Meanwhile, The Promenade is eight minutes away. Portstewart Golf Club and Portstewart Strand, along with the beach-front restaurant, Harry’s Shack, are even less.
Rarely does the prospect of a location not only generate excitement, but leave you salivating at the mouth. There’s really not much more to be said.
