Steeped in local history, this stunning building was formerly the Dunleath Arms, used as a hunting lodge/public house and still has many of its original features.
Instantly recognisable, due to its white, rough cast facade and rosemary tile roof, this property has been a landmark on the Ards Peninsula for some time.
Built around 1902, the current owners have restored the home sympathetically, retaining many of the unique features such as wood panelling, cornicing, ceiling roses and tiling.
On entering the home, you are immediately met with the beautiful, original floor tiles leading to the reception rooms.
The dining room has wood panelling and a bay window with feature leaded panels showing the Dunleath Arms crest and overlooks the front garden area.
The drawing room is simply stunning, with a large open fireplace, wood panelling, another bay window, window seats and a side door to the courtyard area and the living room benefits from another open fireplace and leads to the kitchen.
With a good range of units, feature units and a separate utility room the kitchen has a country charm to it, in keeping with the rest of the home.
The first floor has, on the one side, the master suite with balcony and ensuite and another double bedroom. the other side has two further double bedrooms and a large family bathroom with bath and shower.
The outside courtyard has a private seating section, raised bedding areas and mature shrubs and trees and leads to another area with parking for up to two cars and two outbuildings with power and light.
This unique property is B1 listed, and needs some modernisation in parts but would provide an exciting project for anyone looking for a charming, unique home in a seaside location and early viewing is highly recommended.
