Description & Features
The Agent's Perspective...
“This is a handsome detached family home, set back from the road and screened by mature trees and shrubs.
The location is ideal for commuting to Belfast and surrounding areas. There are many amenities nearby including shops, schools, Ulster Hospital, Dundonald Ice Bowl complex and David Lloyd fitness and leisure club.
“Stenbury” has been a happy family home since c.1968 and now offers the opportunity to another family to refresh the accommodation to suit individual taste - hopefully retaining the character of the original house built in c.1935.
Great potential to be your ‘forever’ home.”
