About
Detached Bungalow 4 Bedrooms 3 Bath/Shower Rooms 3 Reception Rooms A substantial and deceptively spacious detached bungalow occupying a generous, mature site on the well-regarded Barnfield Road, offering four bedrooms, three reception spaces, three bath/shower rooms and all accommodation conveniently on one level.
The property enjoys a large tarmac driveway, attached garage and a particularly impressive private rear garden with decking, patio and children's play area.
Held in the same ownership for many years and clearly well cared for, the property now offers an incoming purchaser a rare opportunity to modernise and personalise a home of real size and substance in an established and highly commutable location between Lisburn and South Belfast.
A glazed gable porch and inner entrance hall with herringbone parquet flooring lead to a generous front-facing living room with feature fireplace, a separate dining room with vaulted timber ceiling, and a country-style kitchen with integrated appliances.
A standout addition is the large garage/games room, currently home to a full-size pool table — an outstanding flexible space suited to a family room, home office, studio or gym.
Two separate utility rooms add genuine day-to-day practicality.
The bedroom wing comprises four bedrooms, the principal with en-suite, served additionally by a main bathroom and a separate shower room.
