Autumn leaves crunching underfoot, the windmill quietly turning, and four acres of possibility stretching out in every direction - “Leytonstone” is the kind of place that feels like it’s been patiently waiting for its next chapter. Tucked into tightly held Belfast Road, this is a rare opportunity to secure acreage with both history and horizon - whether you choose to restore its mid-century charm, create your dream home and ultimate shed (STCA), or simply land bank for the future in this blue-chip pocket.
The home itself carries the character of its 1950s origins, beginning with the welcoming front porch. A classic triple-fronted façade, sash windows and picture rails hint at its story, while timber parquetry floors and two wood heaters deliver warmth and personality. There’s flexibility in the layout too - three bedrooms with two living zones, or four bedrooms if you prefer - allowing the home to evolve alongside your plans.
The kitchen is neat, functional and connected to a meals area that feels naturally social, while the bathroom has been refreshed with a new vanity and shower over bath - comfortable as is, with scope to enhance over time.
Step outside and the possibilities really begin to unfold. Fenced paddocks invite hobby farming, horses or simply the joy of wide-open space. A working windmill, three bores and fertile ground make this more than just picturesque - it’s practical and self-sufficient too. Fruit trees offer citrus and apples straight from the branch, while established plantings including Norfolk pine, spruce, date palm, masses of rhododendrons and a striking Judas tree create a landscape that feels both established and full of life.
Scattered outbuildings from machinery sheds to a chicken house add to the appeal, whether you restore what’s here, reimagine the layout, or start fresh with a dream home and dream shed to match (STCA).
Moments from schools including Billanook College, yet feeling a world away, this is a property where past, present and possibility meet. Bring your vision… it’s ready when you are.
