CPS Property are privileged to present this exceptional family residence known as Kinnaird House located in the picturesque village of Caledon to the renatl market. The postal address is 6 Bank Terrace BT68 4TR.

This extensive family home is on four levels, ground floor, first and second floors, and a basement. Each floor has an area of around 110sqm. The house is characterized by spacious rooms, high ceilings, and generous windows which serve to amplify a sense of light and space throughout the entire property. Many period features have been retained.

The house has 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 3 reception rooms, and a kitchen above the basement. The ground floor and all upper floors are centrally heated by an oil-fired boiler at basement level. The basement comprises a utility room, workshop, pantry, and the large former kitchen to the house, which retains its original 9-burner cooking range.

There is a sizeable secure courtyard behind the main house which is enclosed by high stone walls and two-storey stone-built accommodation.  These buildings provided two former carriage houses, with stables and tack room for up to three horses. These buildings, along with the large hay loft above, could be renovated into further accommodation. The enclosed yard provides space for 6 cars and the house also benefits from on street parking to the front.

The walled gardens of the property extend across two levels. The upper garden is enclosed by high stone walls and can be accessed directly from the adjacent main road through secure double gates. A flight of stone steps leads from this upper level down to an extensive lower garden.

A property of this character very rarely presents itself to the rental market. To avoid disappointment, you are advised to arrange a private viewing at your earliest convenience by contacting CPS Property on (028) 3752 8888.
