Delightful waterside cottage with stunning views of Strangford Lough and the Mourne Mountains

Description

A rare opportunity to acquire an individually designed and outstandingly attractive property on the eastern shore of Strangford Lough. The lough is renowned as a haven for wildlife and a centre for a wide variety of aquatic and other leisure pursuits. It is an internationally recognised Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and was designated Northern Ireland's first Marine Nature Reserve. As such, it is subject to rigorously controlled residential development on the shoreline.

The property is situated 1.9 miles north of the small, picturesque town of Portaferry, on the eastern shore of the lough. Approximately forty minutes by car from Belfast City Airport and central city.

The house faces directly across the lough towards Killyleagh and has stunning and endlessly varied views, extending from the Mourne Mountains in the south to Scrabo Hill in the north. In keeping with its origins, this cottage-style residence cleverly blends contemporary appeal with traditional character. A splendid reception/dining hall sets the scene for its bright and airy accommodation, while the main reception rooms feature magnificent marine views. The property nestles amidst landscaped gardens including a tennis court and is surrounded by an array of mature specimen plants and shrubs.

The house has its own private yacht mooring immediately opposite the driveway
