The Agent's Perspective...

"Ballywooley House is a home of true character and charm due to its history dating back to c.1902. Although it has been modernised previously and restored of late, the property has a delightful ambience and the location offers the rare combination of convenience with total privacy.
Built by Mr Bell (a local landowner) in c.1902, the house was subsequently purchased by Mr Leslie Porter c.1912. Mr Porter was a well-known car enthusiast who owned a car dealership in Belfast. So passionate was he, that he competed in the 1903 Paris to Madrid race during which the race had to be stopped due to the number of deaths endured by competitors and spectators along the route. In addition, he competed in the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy in 1908. He was also a keen aviator and joined the Royal Flying Corps. Whilst on leave he flew home in a bi-plane and landed it in a field adjacent to Ballywooley House. Sadly, he was killed in action in 1916.
His family lived on at Ballywooley until the property was sold to the Lowden family, the Hendersons, the Neelys, McCollums and now the present family.
All have no doubt enjoyed their time here - as there is a definite homely atmosphere to Ballywooley House. It has great flexibility to suit even the most space demanding of families and lends itself well to those who prefer to work from home.
The grounds offer great privacy and the chance to follow the sun whilst dining Al Fresco.
We are delighted to be entrusted to find a new family to start the next chapter of ownership of Ballywooley House"
