Additional Information
Flowerfield is a Grade B2 listed country house with cobbled yard and approximately 3 acres in 2 paddocks either side. (An additional 18.5 acres of agricultural land is available separately). It dates back to the start of the 19th century and typifies the simple, well proportioned architecture of the Georgian period. Authentic country houses complete with cobbled yard and mature walled garden are rare and it is these features that give it the feel of a small country estate.
The house, as you would expect, retains the important features of the period yet it has been brought up to date over the years with new roof, quality Marvin double glazed sash windows and modern kitchen and bathroom. The accommodation comprises three reception rooms and five bedrooms and in addition there is a back staircase that leads from the ground floor right up to the attic rooms. The attic rooms are undeveloped but the potential for more separate accommodation is immense. There is also a stone staircase down to the large basement area.
Flowerfield is not just about the house, the cobbled yard with its range of stone outbuildings, apart from its attractive appearance, offers potential for conversion or in its current form would accommodate horses or other animals. There are stone walls with arched doorways leading to garden which is partially walled with a lean-to greenhouse and potting shed. There are flower and vegetable gardens. The main avenue leads through a canopy of Scots pines and beech trees with a carpet of Spring bulbs in season including snowdrops, crocuses and bluebells. A separate back drive, leads around to the yard. The land to each side of the house extends to around 4.5 acres comprising paddock with hayshed, further paddock and gardens.
Crevolea Road is a quiet country road located around 8 miles from Coleraine, 28 miles from Derry, 48 miles from Belfast and Belfast International Airport is around 40 miles away.
