Occupying a magnificent mature site extending to approximately 1.75 acres, 103 Charlotte Street represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Ballymoney’s most distinctive private residences. Designed and constructed in the 1970s by renowned and award-winning local architect Billy Hunter, this exceptional home combines striking architectural character with outstanding privacy, all within comfortable walking distance of Ballymoney town centre, leading schools, shops, cafés and local amenities.
Approached via a sweeping private driveway extending to approximately 200 metres, the property enjoys an immediate sense of arrival. The long approach winds through mature gardens and established specimen planting, creating a tranquil and secluded setting rarely found so close to the heart of town.
The residence itself is a landmark example of contemporary architecture, showcasing a number of remarkable design features that remain as impressive today as when first conceived. A distinctive copper roof, elegant curved feature walls and an elevated terrace all contribute to the home’s unique aesthetic, while large areas of glazing maximise natural light and provide attractive views across the surrounding grounds.
Extending to a generous footprint, the accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged into two principal wings. One wing is dedicated to entertaining and family living, offering a series of interconnected reception spaces designed for both formal occasions and relaxed everyday living. The second wing provides a more private bedroom retreat, creating excellent separation between living and sleeping accommodation. Further enhancing the flexibility of the property is a substantial basement extending to approximately 900 sq ft, offering significant potential for a range of uses including recreation, storage, home working or further accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.
The mature gardens are a particular feature of the property. Beautifully established over many decades, they include magnificent flowering rhododendrons, mature trees, expansive lawns and secluded areas that provide year-round colour, privacy and tranquillity. The elevated position of the house allows it to sit naturally within its surroundings, creating a peaceful and sheltered environment that feels a world away from the bustle of everyday life.
Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, the property remains exceptionally convenient, with Ballymoney town centre, schools, shops, cafés and everyday amenities all within walking distance.
Given the scale of the site and its prime location, the property may also offer future redevelopment or subdivision potential, subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions and statutory approvals.
A truly unique architect-designed home of character and substance, occupying one of Ballymoney’s most sought-after residential locations, offering privacy, architectural pedigree and exceptional potential in equal measure.
