The Owner's Perspective...
"Richmond’ provides a mature garden full of interest, and has been part of the National Trust open garden scheme .
Great views over the Belfast lough, Co Antrim and beyond. Tall ships, cruise ships and other vessels of interest pass by in full view.
We enjoy the neighbouring Country Park (accessed by a gate in the garden) and gardens full of birdsong.
The productive vegetable and fruit garden faces the sun and has a favourable microclimate. The garden is fenced securely for children and pets and there is a built in BBQ site beside the ponds.
Helen’s Bay is a wonderful community, privileged by having a train station, and regular school buses.
The three beaches of Crawfordsburn, Helen’s Bay and the Coastguards (back shore) are within walking distance. The coastal path runs from Holywood to Bangor past several golf courses.
It’s a great area for walks, swimming, blackberry picking and outdoor interests"
