AWARD WINNING 5* CONTEMPORARY HOUSE SET IN AN AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY
WINNERS OF THE PRESTIGIOUS NORTHERN IRELAND TOURISM AWARDS 2016......
AS FEATURED IN 25 BEAUTIFUL HOMES NOVEMBER 2015
Number 1 Barn Lane is a stunning three-bed barn extension set in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty and nestled in the Sperrin Mountains, overlooking Lough Foyle and the Donegal Hills.
Designed and owned by award-winning architects, this contemporary styled new property has three double/twin rooms and three bathroom/shower rooms over two floors.
The ground floor boasts a living and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen and separate utility room. A log burning stove and under floor heating throughout the ground floor makes the open plan space extremely cosy.
Set in private grounds on a family farm, the barn is the perfect base from which to explore the many attractions of the Ireland’s dramatic northern coastline.
Explore the highlights of the north coast:
The bustling seaside towns of Portrush and Portstewart are within a 25-minute drive of the barn, with Portballintrae, Ballycastle and County Donegal all within reach.
The glorious beaches for which the North Coast is famed all offer great surfing, kite surfing and bodyboarding and are easily accessible.
Benone Beach, Mussenden Temple, Downhill Demesne, Hezlett House and the famous Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge are just some of the more local attractions (15-25 minutes drive away), while the magnificent Giants Causeway – a UNESCO World Heritage site - and its award-winning visitors centre is also a short drive.
The Roe Valley Country Park, offering salmon fishing and serene riverside walks through wooded glades, is just five minutes away.
For Irish whisky lovers, the world famous Bushmills distillery can be reached within half an hour.
Golfers will be spoilt for choice, with world class golf courses including Royal Portrush, Portstewart, Castlerock and Ballycastle all within reach.
Game of Thrones fans can walk in the footsteps of the Starks and Lannisters by visiting one of Causeway Coast and Glens filming locations. Scenes from Winterfell, Dragonstone, Pyke, The Stormlands and the King’s Road were all filmed here.
Further afield the capital city of Belfast is just over an hour away, making visits to the many theatres and award-winning restaurants, the Titanic Museum, W5 and the Ulster Museum all achievable.
Londonderry/Derry, a former Capital of Culture, with its famous walls and intriguing history, is a 45-minute drive.
