This house will be very special. 5,000 sq.ft. with two acres less than a mile from the A55 outer ring and just minutes from the Malone Road and south Belfast.

It will be an air-tight, highly insulated construction with triple-glazed windows, featuring renewable energy with mechanical ventilation and heat recovery.

The design concept centres round a very large family living space with dining and kitchen area, and all the associated pantry and laundry room facilities one might expect. Private access through a boot room will be from a covered two vehicle carport in a courtyard area where there is also a two-car garage. There are three further reception areas, five bedrooms, a home office and a gym.

A feature of the initial design is the statement principal bedroom suite. It is a large space that includes his and hers dressing areas and ensuite facilities with a bath and separate toilet.

An initial conceptual downstairs design feature is an adaptable area conceived for future proofing or multi-generational living. But it could be redeployed, or even removed altogether.

The final configuration and design detail of a house like this should reflect the occupants’ personal requirements and preferences. There is now opportunity for prospective purchasers to engage in such discussion.
