Description
Built in 1840, Drumbo Parochial School continued to serve as a place of education until the 1950's. It has since been cleverly converted into a unique and much admired home which retains much of the original character and yet feels very homely at the same time.
The property occupies a mature site in an idyllic location in the Lagan Valley Conservation area. It is hard to believe that the attractions of the Lisburn Road, Forestside Shopping Centre and the City Centre are all within a few minutes drive.
The thoughtfully designed and well proportioned accommodation has been tastefully presented with the help of Sarah G, 'House Stager'. The reception accommodation is ideal for entertaining and two of the three bedrooms have ensuites.
This important sale is sure to attract interest from the professional single person or couple, or those downsizing and wanting a spacious and historic home in a stunning setting.
