76 Portaferry Road is an impressive modern bungalow set on an elevated and exceptionally private site, showcasing breathtaking, ever-changing views over Strangford Lough. Despite its secluded position, the property lies less than a mile from Newtownards, placing schools, local shopping and everyday amenities within easy reach, while Belfast is approximately a half-hour commute, making this a rare blend of tranquillity and convenience.
The home has been crafted to a high specification throughout, enhanced by oil-fired central heating, solar panels and triple-glazed windows with powder-coated aluminium exteriors and timber interiors. A welcoming entrance porch with tiled floor and built-in robes leads to a bright hall with generous storage and a contemporary cloakroom. Double doors open into a dramatic vaulted lounge where an apex corner window frames uninterrupted lough views, complemented by a granite fireplace with gas stove.
The luxurious kitchen includes quartz work surfaces, a central island with wine rack, integrated appliances and converted electric Aga, flowing into a dual-aspect dining room with gas fire and large sliding patio doors to the garden. A spacious utility room provides extensive storage, a walk-in pantry and laundry facilities.
The principal bedroom suite offers a dressing room, walk-in-wardrobe and a stunning ensuite with freestanding bath and walk-in rainfall shower. Two additional bedrooms each enjoy their own ensuite, and the property further benefits from a study and a versatile store/fish room. The integrated double garage features an insulated electric door, power, lighting and the oil boiler.
Beautifully landscaped grounds include a newly tarmacked driveway with stone-clad entrance pillars, granite-edged beds, lawns, lighting scheme, greenhouse, gated parking area and patio space. The raised south-facing front garden, with artificial lawn, flowerbeds and BBQ area, provides an extraordinary vantage point to enjoy the panoramic lough views.
