Description

This impressive detached residence is a recognised landmark property in the area from which it takes its name. Earliest Ordinance Survey maps show a dwelling here in the 1800's although the present house was built in 1928. The property is situated on an elevated, but level site, with spectacular views over Bangor stretching from the Holywood Hills over to the Antrim coastline and further round to woodland, Groomsport and the open sea.

The accommodation is of excellent proportions, as befits a home of this calibre, with elegant reception hall, gracious principle reception rooms, cosy family areas and a wonderful country kitchen with Aga. The first floor will not disappoint either with up to five bedrooms, ensuite, main bathroom and separate shower. The majority of the rooms enjoy the splendid views.

Major refurbishment has been carried out to the exterior fabric of the dwelling by the present owners, ensuring the future of this fine home.

Occupying grounds of circa 3.5 acres, there is a meadow of 1.5 acres, paddock 0.75 acres, a sand menage and an extensive range of outbuildings. Formal gardens include a variety of native species and lawned area drained in readiness for use as a tennis court. Then of course there is the secret garden to be discovered and enjoyed in moments of quiet contemplation.

This is an opportunity to acquire a prestigious home of distinction and character.
