Description
Cunningburn Corn Mill was constructed in 1776 by Alexander Stewart, the owner of Mountstewart Estate. A water driven mill, it is situated two miles north of the Estate, close to Strangford Lough, and was a working mill until 1932. The Mill has now been ingeniously converted into a two storey dwelling and retaining many of the original features including:
· Drive shaft and overhead workings in what is now the kitchen
· Gear wheel as a kitchen table
· Retention of all original building including Scrabo stone features to windows and doors
· Original keystones and inscriptions showing 1776
Nearby recreational facilities including sailing on Strangford Lough, golf and Mountstewart Estate.
Rarely does a property of such character come to the market in Northern Ireland and we urge those interested in being part of the legacy of our forefathers, not to miss this unique opportunity.
