About
Situated in the highly desirable Harberton Park area of North Ballymena, this detached bungalow presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to create their ideal home. Offering generous accommodation, extensive outdoor space, and stunning elevated views, the property is ideal for families, downsizers, or anyone seeking space to operate a small business from home.
The accommodation comprises two spacious reception rooms, both featuring attractive open fireplaces, three well-proportioned bedrooms (two doubles and one single), a modern bathroom complete with a corner shower enclosure and electric shower, and an open-plan kitchen/dining area with additional storage.
Externally, the property offers excellent parking facilities with two separate driveways—one leading to the detached garage and the other providing access to the rear yard.
The generous rear yard accommodates multiple vehicles and is complemented by a carport, an outside store with electricity, and a separate WC.
One of the standout features of this home is the impressive elevated rear garden, laid in mature lawns and established shrubs, enjoying beautiful panoramic views across Ballymena and the surrounding countryside.
While the property would benefit from some cosmetic updating, it offers enormous potential and represents an exciting opportunity to add value.
