Jo was fantastic! From the first time we met her we knew she was the right agent for the job. She was super helpful and helped us so much in getting our solicitor to do his job, and to keep the purchaser happy when there were a few hiccups. Honestly, she made the process painless. Thank you!

Joanne Crawford is without doubt the most professional and pleasant agency staff member we have dealt with. Templeton Robinson and Joanne in particular made the process of selling our property surprisingly straight forward. Thank you.

Joanne Crawford, at Ballyhackamore branch, is the most driven, scrupulous and immediate estate agent, I’ve met in 33 years of buying and selling property. Communicates constantly, chases up all parties and makes it all happen. Bought and sold with her. Joanne also sold the house next door. It had previously been with another agent and the owners had taken it off the market. It sold within a week, after I recommended Ms Crawford to the owners. A credit to her Profession and a role model for the industry.

Description
A stunning own-door, ground floor apartment with two bedrooms; a private garden courtyard and dedicated parking, extending to approximately 1100 sq ft with impressive ceiling heights of up to 12 feet.
The apartment is set within The Moat, a distinguished listed building originally constructed as a grand mansion and later converted into apartments. The building was designed in 1864 by celebrated architect William Joseph Barre, regarded as one of Ulster's finest Victorian architects; whose notable works include the Albert Memorial Clock and The Ulster Hall in Belfast. The Moat is also featured in the publication 'Architects of Ulster: W J Barre' by Paul Harron.
In late 2025, the apartment underwent a comprehensive refurbishment to an exceptional standard. Works included upgraded sound insulation to the ceilings, new electrics with all lighting on dimmers, new plumbing, cast-iron radiators, a new gas boiler, a bespoke solid wood kitchen, bespoke solid wood wardrobes, a newly fitted primary shower, and custom-designed engineered oak flooring throughout, finished in an ebony stain.
