Raw Brae House, 73, Raw Brae Road, Whitehead, BT38 9SZ

Raw Brae House nestled within approximately 10.67 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, is a remarkable country residence that brings together exceptional craftsmanship, timeless architecture and the quite pleasures of country living in perfect harmony. Completed in 2019 Raw Brae House has been thoughtfully created as a forever family home. Every detail reflects an uncompromising commitment to quality, combining elegant design with the warmth, comfort and practicality of modern family living. Approached through electric entrance gates, a sweeping private driveway gently reveals the house, perfectly positioned to embrace panoramic views across Belfast Lough towards the County Down coastline. Extending to approximately 6,000 square feet, the beautifully proportioned accommodation is both impressive and welcoming. The magnificent reception hall leads to elegant formal reception rooms, a handsome home study and at the heart of the home, a fabulous open-plan kitchen, dining and family living space, where the four oven Aga creates a natural focal point for everyday family life and relaxed entertaining. The home offers six beautifully appointed ensuite bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite, with French doors leading out onto a generous balcony, ensuite and dressing room, while the upper floor provides a versatile games room, or seventh bedroom suite, complete with storage rooms, bathroom and roof top balcony. Lift access to the first floor, underfloor heating and integrated CCTV security system reflects the exceptional specification found throughout. What truly distinguishes Raw Brae House, however, is the relationship between the home and its surrounding landscape. Beautifully landscaped formal gardens merge effortlessly into areas of natural meadowland, creating a peaceful and ever changing setting rich in wildlife and seasonal colour. A young, fifty tree orchard of apple, damson and cherries promises to become an enduring feature, maturing beautifully with each passing season. A charming summer house/studio, with log burner, provides a versatile space, ideal for hobbies, a home office, or simply a quiet place to relax. Beyond, the grounds offer exceptional versatility with ample space for the creation of paddocks, including areas well suited to future stabling, subject to necessary planning permission. Whether enjoying summer evenings on the terrace, gathering family and friends around the Aga, walking through the meadow, or enjoying the changing seasons in the orchard, this country home offers a way of life that is increasingly rare to find. Beautifully crafted, thoughtfully planned and designed to endure, this is more than a country residence. It is a family home created for everyday living, where memories are made, traditions established and the surrounding landscape can be enjoyed for years to come.
