Dating back to 1903, this elegant detached residence known as "Netherleigh" occupies a quite delightful site, surrounded by well stocked mature gardens. Internally the bright, spacious accommodation is well presented throughout and combines the charm and character of the "Arts and Crafts" era in which it was built, with many attractive modern features, so essential to today's lifestyle.
Externally the imposing elevation is complemented by a rosemary tile roof, while the setting itself derives maximum benefit from those sunny days, with an excellent degree of privacy. Ranfurly Avenue has long been regarded as the prime residential part of the town, not least for its mix of impressive housing, but also for its convenience to the Bangor West Railway Halt, essential shops, schools for all age groups and denominations, and the seafront with its much admired coastal pathway and only a short stroll from Skipperstone Beach which is the new hub for sea swimming and paddle boarding.
So rarely do properties with such a fabulous setting come onto the open market, making this an opportunity not to be missed - therefore early viewing is highly recommended.
