Description

Dating from the 1830s, this handsome terrace of three townhouses is steeped in local history, reputedly commissioned by the Bishop of Down for his three daughters. Nestled behind mature hedging on one of Holywood's most prestigious addresses, 3 Victoria Road is an exceptional period residence, beautifully combining timeless elegance with the comforts of modern living. Behind its handsome faÃ§ade lies a home of remarkable character, where a wealth of original late Georgian and Victorian features have been beautifully preserved. Magnificent ceiling heights, ornate cornicing and ceiling roses, original hardwood sliding sash windows and beautiful fireplaces create an immediate sense of grandeur, complemented by bespoke interiors thoughtfully designed to respect the property's architectural heritage. The impressive reception hall leads to elegant drawing room leading to a bespoke fitted kitchen, plus prep kitchen and cloakroom WC. The upper floors provide exceptionally versatile accommodation, including a magnificent first-floor drawing room, up to four bedrooms and two bathrooms, allowing the layout to adapt effortlessly to individual requirements. Outside, the property enjoys a private, enclosed walled rear garden. A particularly exciting feature is the coach house, which benefits from full planning permission for conversion to a separate dwelling of up to three bedrooms, offering excellent potential for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or additional family space. Ideally positioned moments from Holywood's vibrant town centre, leading schools, coastal walks and rail links, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional period home.
