We are delighted to present this period property located on the periphery of the picturesque village of Gilford, County Down. The original property is understood to date back to 1832 and situated on a secluded site just off the Banbridge Road. Lovingly refurbished and renovated it presents a number of original features, high ceilings, as well as many bespoke features added by its present owners. Flexible in its layout the property can offer up to 5 bedrooms or equally some of these rooms can offer a flexible layout for reception rooms; in addition to its bespoke Orangery at the rear.
In addition to the generous accommodation of the house, generous outbuildings to the rear present fabulous space for entertaining with a gym and games rooms. The rear outbuilding would also be ideally suited to those working from home for offices, studios or for those with growing families.
Set in grounds of approximately an acre with a front and rear entrance, a substantial gravel drive sweeps up to the property via an automated and gated entrance. Surrounded by mature and well established planting it truly is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of such character. Yet it is extremely convenient to not only the A1 Carraigeway (via Banbridge) but also the M1 Motorway (via Portadown). Early viewing is recommended
