Highlands, 37 Farranfad Road, Seaforde BT30 8NH

Set in its own private secluded grounds extending to circa 9 acres, 'Highlands' is an imposing period residence thought to have been built in the early 1840's in the Tudoresque style. The B1 listed residence, built of stone and rendered with granite features including door and window surrounds, quoins and granite base, combine to create a hint of Scottish design. Internally, the gracious reception rooms open off the imposing reception hall with original oak staircase leading to the galleried landing. The bright and spacious rooms have retained many of their original features including window shutters, high ceilings with decorative cornicing and centre ceiling roses, creating a tranquil feel on entering the residence. The generous farmhouse kitchen, with four oven AGA, adjoining pantry and scullery are the focal point for a growing family, with laundry room, cloakroom, drying room accessed off the inner hallway. Six bedrooms, two en suites, principal bathroom and study are at first floor level. Oil fired central heating has been installed. Externally a stable yard with seven looseboxes, tack room, feed room, hayshed and log store not only provide ideal accommodation for those with equine interests but offer options to convert too, such as air BnB, granny flat, office space, studio etc if desired (subject to planning). Mature gardens with rolling lawns and a fine selection of shrubs together with the stands of native trees and two grazing paddocks combine to provide a private peaceful setting for the residence.
