2 3 2

We are delighted to have been given the instruction to offer for sale this truly unique property - 'The Trostan' at McCormick Brae - on the doorstep of the famous Causeway Coast including Blue Flag beaches, the Giants Causeway and some of the country's finest golf courses. The opulence of McCormick Brae also resides less than an hour from Belfast, making it an ideal opportunity for potential city buyers who want to relax and retreat.

The Trostan occupies a truly idyllic and exclusive opportunity (only a few miles inland from Ballycastle) nestled within an old tree lined estate at the foot of Knocklayde Glen. The original stone stables and coach houses were painstakingly converted whilst retaining the original old world charm to provide 5 new residences bordering a traditional and private cobbled courtyard with access via electric gates from the Moyarget Road. To summarise 2 McCormick Brae boasts exclusive country side living minutes from the seaside town lifestyle.

Additionally the property enjoys arguably the choice plot with an extensive mature garden to the rear (bordering the open countryside) and accommodation enjoying views of the same. To further add to the splendour of 2 McCormick Brae, the gardens are tended to by a private gardener and cleaner both who would aid the new owners. The patio area to the right hand side of the capacious stoned drive is an incomparable spot where the luxury of a summer house or Jacuzzi could be enjoyed by the new owners; this experience would be enhanced further by breath taking sunsets over undisturbed country side views surrounding the property.

Internally this includes a contemporary finish which blends into the original thick stone walls with the high quality restoration providing all the thermal and cost saving benefits of modern living. Indeed the quality of the restorations was recognised by the NHBC and received a ‘Seal of Excellence Award’ in 2011.

As such this superb property represents a rare opportunity to purchase a fantastic and unique dwelling – oozing character and charm: - we recommend any discerning purchasers contact us for a viewing to fully appreciate what would be a fine permanent residence, retirement or holiday home, ideal for families with young children and pets thanks to the security of the fully enclosed rear garden, furthermore the gated courtyard itself.

Tranquillity, uniqueness and luxury can only begin to describe this opportunity.

Upon viewing, the home, garden and location speak for themselves.
