Semi-detached/Terraced House in Antrim for Home Swap

Our secluded property sits 1km outside the charming village of Cushendall, overlooking the bay. The house retains many of its original features whilst being fully modernised.

Whilst secluded and peaceful, the property is just a short walk from the village of Cushendall.

We've recently refurbished the kitchen and the private garden to the rear. There's a private porch and shared grounds to the front.

We like to think of the property as being a home away from home and we ask that you treat it as respectfully as we do. It's our second home so we pay a great deal of attention to how it's furnished, cleaned and cared for. Our guests seem to appreciate it.

The house includes an extensive library and DVD collection.

This is not a house for those who want to be in the thick of it. It's quiet, rural and peaceful. It's perfectly located for those interested in cycling, walking, golfing, beaches, wildlife, nature and photography.

It is also close to a number of HBO Game of Thrones filming locations as well as the Causeway Coast tourist sites.

There are two play parks within a short walking distance. A 9 hole par 3 course is just 1km away.

Our property is one of four private houses created from the renovation of the original Moneyvart House, built in 1865.

It is very important to us that our neighbours' properties and privacy is respected at all times. The gardens immediately in front of each property are private to those houses.

The larger 'meadow' between the gardens and the boundary walls are shared but please respect the plantings, trees and fencing. (To protect the plantings, ball games are not permitted in this area.)

The areas around the cottages and the associated parking are also private.

The grounds are planted with mature trees, many hundreds of years old, as well as holly, honeysuckle, mint, hydrangea, fuchsia, ash, hawthorn, wild garlic and raspberries.

The surface in the meadow and planted grounds can be uneven and care should be taken to avoid injury.

Please respect all wildlife. It is not uncommon to see buzzards, Irish hare, red squirrel and rabbits in the area. At sea there are dolphin and seals and a beautiful puffin colony on nearby Rathlin Island.

The property is set within a large area of agricultural land and it is imperative that guests do not venture into farmers' private lands. There are plenty of public roads and pathways that provide for beautiful walks for the most laid back or those who wish to be challenged.

Local history can be experienced at the nearby Layde church ruins and graveyard, Oisian's Grave (megalithic tomb) or the Neolithic prometary fort on the top of Lurigeithan, the commanding mountain standing tall over the village of Cushendall.

We'll finish with a secret tip...be sure to enjoy a breakfast on the front porch in the heat of the morning sun.
