AVAILABLE TO LET ON A SHORT TERM LEASE - PLEASE DIRECT ALL ENQUIRIES TO .UK OR VIA THE 'ENQUIRE NOW' BUTTON - A SHORT QUESTIONNAIRE MUST BE FILLED OUT BEFORE A VIEWING CAN BE ARRANGED We are delighted to bring to the market ‘Red Dyke’, one of Ballymena’s most iconic period homes which was constructed in 1902. This Arts and Crafts Grade B1 listed building is bursting full of original character whilst offering a practical living space. From the moment you step into the grandiose hallway, prospective purchasers will be struck by the classic elegance of the residence, and the excellent levels of maintenance and presentation evident as they walk through. The floor space takes in roughly 4000 square feet, which includes all the accommodation you would expect in a property of this calibre. Accessed from both the Galgorm Road and Grange Road via private pillared entrances, the mature grounds are immaculately maintained, and take in roughly 0.8 acre with excellent shielding from the roads thanks to the mature shrubbery, treeline and evergreen hedges. Directly opposite Ballymena Academy and a short walk from other primary and grammar schools, the town centre and railway station are within comfortable walking distance. The bustling village of Galgorm, home to the golf course, world renowned resort and spa and a number of eateries are found a mile away in the opposite direction, whilst commuters can avail of the nearby A26 road network which offers easy access to the Causeway coast, Mid Ulster, Aldergrove Internation Airport, Belfast and beyond. A once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a truly remarkable property which may also catch the eye of those with a commercial interest given the history and local interest.
