Bodifyr (Origin Welsh, meaning 'Happy Home')
Nestled on the charming Park Avenue in Donaghadee, this magnificent detached house, originally built in 1896 as a 'Gentleman's Residence' for Louis De Delacherois, stands as a testament to period architecture and rich history. Spanning an impressive 3,800 square feet, this double fronted Victorian residence has been lovingly maintained and renovated and boasts a unique narrative, having served as a Presbyterian Manse in the 1960s and even featuring in the film "Divorcing Jack."

Upon entering, one is greeted by an elegant foyer that leads to four spacious reception rooms, three of which are fitted with working fireplaces, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The home offers five generously sized bedrooms, including a primary suite complete with an en-suite bathroom and a dressing room, ensuring comfort and privacy for all residents. The property also features luxurious bathrooms on both the first and second floors, as well as a guest wc conveniently located on the ground floor.

Surrounding the home are beautifully landscaped gardens, filled with a diverse array of plants, shrubs, and trees, providing a serene outdoor space to relax and entertain. The property is ideally situated just minutes from the sea, allowing for leisurely coastal walks, and is within walking distance to the vibrant town centre of Donaghadee, where one can enjoy local shops, cafes, and amenities.

This exceptional home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in a picturesque setting, combining period charm with modern comforts. It is perfect for those seeking a spacious family residence in a delightful coastal community.
