The property extends to 105.6 sq.m. /1,137 sq.ft and sits on a total site area of 295 sq.m. / 3,175 sq.ft The original structure was built by the Talbot Family in the late 1700s as the stable buildings to service Ballinclea House and was constructed in the shape of a horseshoe. The stables were later converted into individual residential properties, with Harbour View boasting a commanding position within the horse shoe structure having a large, landscaped private front garden. Substantial upgrades to the property by the current owners include a new rear extension replacing a conservatory with a fine bedroom, new kitchen, new bathrooms, insulation of the floors and the deep external walls, and new plumbing and heating systems. The design and styling of the interiors demonstrate the artistic finesse of the owners with bespoke cabinetry and exceptional quality finishes throughout.
