Occupying a magnificent, private site of approximately 1.4 acres on one of North Down's most desirable addresses, Craigarth is a distinguished detached residence offering an exceptional sense of space, seclusion, and opportunity.
Tucked behind mature trees and approached via a sweeping driveway, the property enjoys a remarkable setting—just moments from the beach and village amenities of Helens Bay, and with excellent access to Bangor, Holywood and Belfast. This is a location where peace and privacy meet convenience and coastal charm.
The accommodation extends to around 6,500 sq ft and is arranged over two floors, with six generous bedrooms and five reception rooms providing outstanding flexibility for growing families, multigenerational living, or those working from home. While the interior now invites updating, the scale, character and setting of the property offer a rare chance to reimagine a home of true stature.
Externally, the grounds are every bit as impressive—enveloped in mature planting with extensive lawns and sheltered terraces, they provide a sense of country living in a prime coastal location.
Rarely does a property of this calibre come to the market in such a coveted position. Craigarth represents a unique opportunity to create a truly remarkable home in one of Northern Ireland's most prestigious residential settings.
