Description

The flexible layout allows for versatile living arrangements, catering to the needs of any family. Recent upgrades include a brand-new kitchen and luxurious ensuites, all designed to enhance the experience of modern living while respecting the property's rich heritage.
The property is surrounded by the serene beauty of the Co Down countryside, with a newly formed woodland walk that offers easy access to the historic village of Seaforde. This idyllic setting provides a perfect backdrop for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle while remaining connected to the charm of village life.
