An outstanding luxury detached residence set in a magnificent walled garden, steeped in local history, extending to circa 1 1/2 acres conveniently situated in a delightful semi-rural setting on the outskirts of Lisburn only a few minutes drive from the City Centre, leading schools and all amenities and within easy reach of the International Airport and commuting distance of Belfast.

Built by the present owners about 15 years ago to an exacting specification this most appealing property combines attractive mellow brick elevations with approx. 3000 sqft. of beautifully proportioned accommodation incorporating a wealth of top quality features and finishes together with a 600 sqft. garage annex with floored loft storage providing tremendous scope for additional living space, subject to necessary statutory approvals.

Sited in the former Kitchen Garden of Brookhill House and bounded by the original 9-10 foot high brick walls dating from circa 1640 it is worth noting that Brookhill was a premier residence of the Conways. The original house, residence or castle was named after an Elizabethan colonel Sir Edward Brook and upon its ruins Sir Edward Conway, 1st. Lord Viscount of Kilultagh and Baron Conway, built '' a goodly house''. At the outbreak of the Irish Rebellion in 1641 the property was set alight by the retreating Irish Forces following the Battle of Lisburn. Sir George Rawdon, Lord Conway's secretary rebuilt Brookhill House in 1649 and after his death in 1684 the property and its subsequent owners continued to play a prominent role in local society, all of which is well documented.

Set well back from the county road, the property on offer attracts many admiring comments from those travelling along the Ballinderry Road able to catch a glimpse of what is generally regarded to be one of the most desirable settings in the Greater Lisburn Area. For the most discerning of purchasers seeking a high calibre family home boasting seclusion, convenience, truly magnificent gardens and its own particular place in history we strongly recommend early viewing for a personal appraisal.
