Tucked away within an exclusive, private development just off the
Shore Road, this beautifully presented detached home occupies a delightful site,
just a short stroll from the heart of the village. A part-ruined stone tower
stands sentinel at the edge of the grounds a wonderfully evocative nod to
Strangford's medieval past while mature trees, dry stone walling and manicured
hedging give the development a settled, established feel rarely found in newer
schemes.
If
the location is the headline, the gardens are the love letter. Deep, billowing
borders of roses and herbaceous perennials in pinks, purples and golds wrap the
house, alongside clipped box, topiary balls and a neat lawn framed by a striking
natural stone feature wall. A paved patio off the garden room is perfect for
alfresco dining, while a separate, elevated garden area offers its own quiet
retreat with a lovely outlook over the Ferry Quarter beyond two distinct garden
spaces, each with its own character.
At
the heart of the home, a glazed garden room extension brings the outside in:
full-height glass and dual-aspect bi-folding doors fold right back, flooding the
space with light. Currently arranged for dining and relaxing, it's equally
suited to a quiet morning coffee or entertaining with the doors thrown
wide.
The
principal lounge is more traditional: a feature fireplace with a stove, a bay
window, and a connecting door through to the garden
room, so the two spaces can flow together or be closed
off.
The
kitchen is finished to a high standard with soft grey shaker-style cabinetry,
quartz worktops and a striking range cooker as its centrepiece, with a cosy
breakfast table tucked into the bay.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms continue the calm, neutral
palette found throughout. The principal bedroom has an ensuite shower room and
built-in wardrobe; the top-floor bedroom enjoys views towards Strangford Lough,
alongside a flexible space that works equally well as an ensuite or utility
room.
Strangford is one of County Down's true hidden gems a small, historic
harbour village where the Lough narrows before meeting the sea, with Portaferry
visible across the water and linked by a car ferry. Full of character, with rows
of fine nineteenth-century houses overlooking the harbour, cosy pubs known for
traditional music, well-regarded restaurants and café scene built around local
seafood, a village shop Chemist, dentist, excellent primary school and a working
yacht haven.
A
uniquely positioned, beautifully finished four-bedroom home in one of
Strangford's most exclusive private developments with a glorious glazed garden
room and gardens that are, quite simply, some of the prettiest in the
village.
