5 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Bushmills

'The Craig' is an exceptional and imposing country residence which occupies an elevated rural situation with outstanding views and yet conveniently within 2 miles drive to Bushmills town centre.

The extensive accommodation includes 5 bedrooms (3 with ensuite facilities); 4 plus reception rooms and 2 family bathrooms. An impressive reception hall with a central staircase provides direct access via double doors to the drawing room (with a snug/reading area) and also to the dining room with a feature fireplace, outstanding views and a door to an extensively fitted out study. The extensively fitted kitchen with painted oak units and a large AGA leads onto the double aspect family room with a traditional style fireplace, the rear reception/sun room and rear hall to the utility room and rear courtyard. Hidden off the rear hall is also a second (maids!) staircase to the upper floor accommodation.

From the main reception hall the main staircase leads to an impressive gallery landing area with a seating/study area at the front plus french doors to a balcony – ideal for talking in the superb views on sunny days. All 5 bedrooms including 2 family bathrooms can either be accessed from the front reception or the maids/cleaners stairs to the rear – views from all the upper rooms extend over the surrounding countryside.

Externally the property is approached by a private drive from the Carnbore Road continuing through the grounds which totals c. 4.9 acres including c. 3.6 acres of agricultural land. Theres generous parking to the side/rear plus a separate courtyard with stores including a workshop.

As such ‘The Craig’ is an impressive family residence which has been updated and maintained to the highest standard – bordered by and including private lands and with outstanding views over the Bush Valley towards the Causeway Coast and even the Donegal Hills in the distance. Although sizeable ‘The Craig’ should appeal to a range of discerning buyers including the equestrian minded or quite possibly even a family looking for an adaptable property that’s already set up for Bed & Breakfast – subject to any necessary approvals. It offers rural tranquillity with outstanding views together with the convenience of all amenities within a short distance. Indeed ‘The Craig’ can only only be fully appreciated on viewing so we recommend contacting ourselves to arrange an appointment at you earliest opportunity!
