About The Millpond

The Millpond is an exclusive development of only 3 individual Irish cottage inspired house types, situated in the historic village of Ardmillan, on the shores of Strangford Lough. Unlike so many modern developments that sit in stark contrast to their surroundings, The Millpond has extracted the best elements of local tradition from the character of the village and the stunning surroundings of Strangford Lough, with a generous twist of contemporary design.

The overall layout aims to reinforce the existing village's character & identity with materials such as render, stone and cedar within a building style which creates an indigenous sense of community & continuity.

Following on from the success of The Oyster Yard, we are delighted to offer to the market, this new exciting phase of detached family homes. Accessed via electric gates, this development of three luxury homes offers the best in contemporary modern living, in a secure and traditional environment.

Ranging in size from 2583 sq ft to 3174 sq ft, there are four and five bedroom variations to choose from. An impressive high specification finish is evident throughout with sanity ware from The Yard and luxury fitted kitchens. Each home comes sold as seen with integrated appliances, floor coverings and contemporary tiling. Wired from Sky HD and fitted with a satellite dish, there will be little for the purchaser to do but move in and enjoy the surroundings.
