"Killiney", 14 Circular Road East, Cultra, Holywood BT18 0HA

THE OWNERS PERSPECTIVE...
"This is not a showy house. It is more laid-back with lots of privacy.

The layout of the house allows for different vibes around. The living room with an open fire at the front of the house is a delightful spot to relax and enjoy the scenery over the garden and Belfast Lough, a light-filled conservatory is perfect for family gatherings or tranquil contemplations, glass bar top by the kitchen is a great place to have a morning coffee or breakfast smoothy while gazing at the Lough.

Down the pathway from the raised decking area sits a Garden lodge. In the past it was a library, an art space and a kid's playroom.

The Annex was built in 2010 to be used as a home office and gym, and with time evolved to be an accommodation for visiting friends and family.

I originally fell in love with this property because of its mature garden that is colourful in all seasons. There are several different areas for varying situations and moods in the garden; a secluded patio at the back of the house, (children's favourite), sunny courtyard, vegetable and fruit planters, small scale woodland and the wooden deck that's ideal as an entertaining area.

One of the most enjoyed aspect of the property Is its great location with so much to offer.
It's very private and safe with discreet neighbours, a walking distance from a luxury hotel with a family friendly pub and a yacht club with a restaurant, as well as in close proximity to nature and a few museums.

Only a minutes' walk to the train station or a 5 min drive will take you to Holywood town where charming cafes and restaurants serve yummy breakfasts and lunches. Most have excellent internet facilities.

If you are looking for a small town to settle down in, Holywood/Cultra is a great place. It is ideal for bringing up a family, for working from home or early retirement"
