Description
Own a piece of County Down´s storied past. The heart of this stunning residence dates back to the 1800s. Originally a traditional two-room structure, the property has been thoughtfully expanded throughout the 1900s to offer a seamless blend of historic character and modern living.
This detached two-bedroom property was a cornerstone of the historic development of the Dundrum seaside area. Built alongside the renowned Downshire Arms Hotel and the neighbouring Bath House, this former gate lodge stands as a testament to the era's architectural significance and coastal charm.
More than just a house; it is a piece of heritage waiting for its next caretaker. Whether you are seeking a tranquil coastal retreat or a unique home with a story to tell, this gate lodge offers a rare opportunity to preserve the past while enjoying the comforts of today.

From the main living area is a versatile family room, boasting dual-aspect windows that fill the space with light. The property is completed by a bathroom and two comfortable bedrooms, with the master to include an ensuite shower room. Easily accessed by a fold-away ladder, the insulated loft space is finished with carpeting and paint, featuring eco-friendly lamb's wool throughout.
