113 Belfast Road

Description
Set along the ever-popular Belfast Road in Antrim, The Gatelodge is a truly unique, bespoke home that offers an exceptional blend of character, craftsmanship and convenience. Completed in May 2000 as a carefully designed and individually built project, this property stands apart from the ordinary, offering a lifestyle defined by charm, comfort and architectural detail.

Perfectly positioned for modern living, the property is ideally suited for commuters and families alike. Belfast International Airport is just 7 minutes away, while Belfast, Ballymena, and Lisburn are all reachable within approximately 20 minutes. Further afield, Londonderry, Newry, and Coleraine can be accessed in under an hour, making this an enviable base for both work and leisure.

From the moment you arrive, the home's striking exterior sets the tone. Constructed using imported flint block, the façade has been thoughtfully designed to evoke a sense of heritage, complemented by keystone brickwork and a charming porch over the bay window. A spacious stoned driveway provides generous parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a 1.5 car garage. The property sits on an approximate 0.25-acre site, offering both privacy and space, while the house itself extends to around 2,140 square feet.

Internally, The Gatelodge continues to impress with its rich detailing and warm, inviting atmosphere. French terracotta floor tiles flow seamlessly from the entrance hall through to the kitchen, dining area and sunroom, enhanced by decorative tile features. Gothic arched doorways and doors add a sense of architectural drama and individuality, while internal brickwork throughout key living spaces reinforces the home's distinctive character.

The bespoke handmade kitchen is a true centrepiece, thoughtfully crafted to complement the overall aesthetic. A brick inglenook range creates a striking focal point, while a Belfast sink, traditional dresser, and granite worktops combine beauty with practicality. Ample counter space ensures the kitchen is as functional as it is stylish perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

A split-level design leads down to the sunroom, an exceptional space designed to maximise natural light and garden views. With floor-to-ceiling windows offering approximately 270-degree vistas, a vaulted ceiling, and skylights overhead, this room provides a tranquil setting to relax and enjoy the surrounding landscape.

The lounge is equally impressive spacious yet cosy featuring multiple windows that flood the room with light. A brick inglenook fireplace with a timber mantle creates a cosy focal point, while wooden flooring and high ceilings enhance the sense of openness and comfort.

Overall the accommodation comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms and four bathrooms. The primary bedroom offers a luxurious retreat, complete with access to a walk-in wardrobe and a private en-suite. Two further double bedrooms benefit from a Jack and Jill en-suite arrangement, while a ground floor single bedroom enjoys pleasant garden views ideal for guests or flexible family use.

The main bathroom is generously sized and finished to a high standard, featuring full floor-to-ceiling tiling and an indulgent gas-powered shower.

In summary, The Gatelodge is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine individuality in a prime Antrim location. With its bespoke design, high-quality finishes, and excellent connectivity, this property will appeal to discerning buyers seeking something truly special.
