Description
A quaint detached country cottage full of character and charm, set within its own private grounds extending to approximately 0.85 acres or thereabouts, situated in this highly desirable area with spectacular views over Strangford Lough & the Mourne Mountains.
The original cottage, now used as the garage / workshop dates back to, it is believed, the 1800s, however in 1985 the cottage was extended and renovated to create a beautiful family home that boasts well appointed accommodation throughout, suitable for the growing & established families or those wishing to downsize. A warm & welcoming entrance hall makes way to the spacious lounge with open fire & access onto the patio area with stunning Lough views, an open plan kitchen, living & dining area with gas fired AGA & separate utility room, three excellent sized bedrooms & bathroom, fitted with a modern white suite. Whilst the first floor boasts a spacious fourth bedroom & a partially floored roof space that could be used as a home office or an additional bedroom, subject to planning.
Outside, the cottage is approached by a gravelled driveway which leads to the attached garage / workshop, which could potentially be converted into a granny flat or an apartment for holiday let, if desired (subject to planning). Beautiful mature gardens with paved patio & decking area surround the property, including a stunning wooded area, which provides a superb back drop to the property & excellent entertaining space for all the family & pets to enjoy.
The location of 34 Bayview Road is exceptional. Killinchy, Whiterock & Balloo are only a short distance away boasting the renowned Balloo House restaurant, Daft Eddies coffee shop, Crafty Fox Home & Gift Emporium, filling station and Killinchy Primary School. Also close at hand is Strangford Lough Yacht Club boasting an array of water activities whilst an excellent road network allows for a convenient commute to the surrounding towns of Killyleagh, Downpatrick & Comber.
