Description

The Grey House is a B1 listed exceptional coastal residence set in an extremely exclusive and desirable location.

The Grey House is one of the most impressive period residences in Northern Ireland and is nestled in a private situation, set on about 2.2 acres in total. The property dates back to about 1853 and has an extensive history and reputation in the local area. Situated on an elevated position, the property benefits from an impressive uninterrupted outlook over the Belfast Lough. A significant renovation project has been undertaken with the property offering exceptional restored accommodation. The residence has retained many of the original features, including ornate corniced ceilings and fireplaces.

The principal accommodation is laid out over four floors and has been designed thoughtfully for perfect contemporary family living whilst offering generous entertaining space for formal gatherings, which has been laid out on the accompanying plans.

Bounded by an array of mature trees, the Grey House is approached by an electric gate with intercom system, leading to a sweeping driveway to the front of the property where ample parking is provided.

The property is entered via an impressive entrance hall with a stunning archway and is flanked by a set of formal studies. The primary reception rooms comprises a formal drawing room and dining room.

The accommodation offers exceptional entertaining space with beautiful features, including corniced ceilings, ceiling roses and marble fireplaces. The kitchen offers a bright and welcoming hub for the residence including stylish and high-quality low and high wall-mounted units made from Canadian pine wood and stunning terracotta tiles. There is a central island which offers a Belfast-style sink and a butcher’s block.

The kitchen/dining area has an abundance of natural light with glazing on three walls and access to the external patio area. Additionally, the ground floor includes two WCs, a pantry and a library which is connected to the main ground floor accommodation via a stunning conservatory.

The bedroom accommodation is located on the first and second floors, accessible via an elegant staircase with an arched stained glass feature. On the first floor, there is a total of four bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The master suite comprises a walk-in dresser that benefits from high-quality built units and an ensuite. The accommodation continues to the second floor with a further 3 bedrooms and bathroom. This extensive accommodation is continued with a flexible offering in the recently refurbished basement. This has the ability to fulfil a number of uses such as a home cinema, gym, further bedrooms, a self contained apartment, a wine cellar or additional storage. The basement further benefits from kitchen and bathroom facilities.

The grounds at The Grey House are one of the key features with beautiful landscaped gardens and a stunning patio area, which is perfect for a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine. There is an all-weather tennis court and stunning feature pond with water feature.

Further accommodation is provided by the garden storeroom and carport. This sale offers an extremely unique opportunity to purchase a magnificently restored B1 listed residence in an outstanding location, which has the exciting opportunity to be extended.
