With a recent deluge of rainfall and the onset of darker evenings, you may be yearning for an impulsive break to sunnier climates already.
So a property within touching distance of Belfast International Airport can help win half the battle at times such as these.
Despite the close proximity of Aldergrove, 25 Tobergill Road still maintains a peaceful countryside aura, whatever the weather.
Nestled within the beautiful south Antrim landscapes awash with green fields and rolling hills, the four bedroom detached home is approached via hardwood double gates, revealing a quaint “chocolate box” style detached residence that can’t fail to impress.
Finished to an exacting standard by the current owner, this unique property boasts a host of appealing features and top quality finishes complemented by tasteful presentation.
A wonderful blend of old and new, its stunning elevations - that include an eye-catching beam ceiling - combine with the imaginative internal layout to provide a fantastically flexible family home of considerable character and charm.
This is very evident in the kitchen/dining area, a roaming expanse of wooden flooring, stove fire and modernised worktop surfaces.
The living room is a luxurious haven, featuring marble fireplace cast iron inset, slate tiled hearth, living flame gas fire and two panelled radiators.
A detached double garage, complete with oil fired central heating boiler, light and power, rounds off an outstanding property teeming with opportunity
The adelphi white suite bathroom is kitted out with everything imaginable, including a free standing roll top cast iron bath, mixer taps, shower attachment, hi flush WC, ceramic tiled floor, wall light points and more.
Bedrooms also have laminated floors, some with built in wardrobes. The master bedroom boasts an ensuite facility - a white suite comprising tiled shower cubicle, shower, pedestal wash hand basin, low flush WC, built in dressing table unit, polished woodstrip floor, double panelled radiator and window seat.
There’s plenty of pleasant surprises outside, with ample space for parking and turning, a garden to the front, sides and rear in lawn and a brick paved area to the side and rear.
A gem of this residence can be found in the shape of the summer house, which includes a woodburning pot belly stove and laminate floor. A detached double garage, complete with oil fired central heating boiler, light and power, rounds off an outstanding property teeming with opportunity.
Conveniently located on the periphery of Parkgate village, its location could not be more convenient for neighbouring Templepatrick, the bustling town of Ballyclare, the International Airport and commuting distance to Belfast and major road networks.
And when the weather is feeling generous inbetween those trips abroad, Tobergill Road is perfectly placed to explore the Antrim Coast or glorious inland landscapes further north.
This really is the best of both worlds.
Seldom do properties of such elegance and grandeur come to the open market in this extremely desirable area, resulting in a home that can be recommended with the utmost confidence. Viewing is strictly by private appointment through the agent.
