Built in 1846, “The Tower” sits proudly in the middle of a row of six terraced cottages known as the Old Coastguard Cottages, Ballycastle. Beautifully restored, this 3-storey, 3 bedroom unique property has fantastic panoramic views to Fairhead, Rathlin Island and over the Irish Sea to Scotland and is ideally situated to sight see around the magnificent North Coast. The Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge and Bushmills Distillery are all within a 30min drive.

The space
The Tower overlooks Ballycastle’s blue flag beach and 18-hole golf course. The harbour and marina is a three-minute walk away with access to fishing boats, sea angling, and ferry to Rathlin Island. Ballycastle is renowned for its friendly pubs, restaurants and craft shops.
