A welcoming reception hall leads to the principal living accommodation. A dedicated home office with fibre broadband provides an ideal environment for remote working. The principal reception room is particularly impressive, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing spectacular coastal views, while bespoke cabinetry and a wood-burning stove set within a white marble surround create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. A second family room offers a more relaxed setting, again enjoying sea views and featuring bespoke cabinetry, hardwood flooring and a wood-burning stove.
At the heart of the home is the impressive kitchen and dining room. Installed in 2023, the bespoke kitchen features extensive custom cabinetry, quartz work surfaces, a Smeg cooking range and a dedicated drinks cabinet. The adjoining dining area enjoys magnificent views across the coastline and grounds, with direct access to the front patio, creating an exceptional space for entertaining. A utility room, cloakroom/walk-in pantry, two bathrooms and excellent storage complete this level. Underfloor heating extends throughout the ground floor.
The bedroom accommodation provides exceptional comfort and flexibility. The principal bedroom enjoys sea views, hardwood flooring, a substantial walk-in wardrobe with bespoke cabinetry and a newly installed ensuite bathroom. Four further bedrooms are located on this floor, each benefiting from bespoke storage and ensuite facilities, while two additional versatile rooms could serve as further bedrooms, offices, hobby rooms or storage.
The lower ground floor provides an excellent leisure space, currently arranged as a large games room, substantial home gym and bathroom. Both principal rooms feature sliding doors opening directly to the front of the property, maximising the connection to the surrounding landscape and coastal outlook.

GARDENS Approached through electric gates, Ballinamona is reached via a winding tarmacadam driveway flanked by mature trees, established hedging and ornamental lighting. The approach creates an impressive sense of arrival while maintaining a high degree of privacy and seclusion.
The gardens have been carefully developed across a series of attractive split-level terraces, making the most of the elevated coastal position and exceptional views. Immediately adjoining the kitchen is a generous patio
