"Kingsthorpe" is a hidden gem, tucked away at the top of a private laneway, on a large mature site. This five-bedroom detached house was built in 1926 and extensively renovated and extended in 1996. The property has been sold only once in its history - to the current owners - in 1995.
The house offers pleasing, comfortable family accommodation, from the modern fitted kitchen with dining area, two sitting / living rooms, to the large Morning room / Study and Games Room. For entertaining, there is a large dining room off the kitchen. The separate Utility room leads to an integral double garage. Double doors lead from the kitchen dining area to a patio shaded by a pergola. The garden, is laid out in lawn and large, well-tended flower-beds of mature shrubs and trees. There are two further patio areas and a summer house. To the rear of the house is a raised vegetable patch. There is extensive driveway parking to the front and side of the property. On the first floor, there are five good bedrooms. The Master bedroom has a window seat, built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower/ bathroom.The second bedroom has built-in wardrobes and dressing table and a Jack and Jill en-suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom with panelled bath and shower over.
We anticipate a high demand for this fabulous home in this private, secluded location. This is an opportunity to acquire a property on a unique site in close proximity to the many social, recreational and educational amenities this locality has to offer, including the highly-rated Stranmillis Primary School.
