Additional Information
The enchanting 'Straw Hill' country estate on the outskirts of Donaghcloney in the Co. Down countryside, is a magnificent and breathtaking demesne, with an outstanding period residence, which is certainly one of Northern Ireland's finest and most elegant homes. The spectacular residence together with its coach house, guest lodge, office accommodation, stable block, and approached by a tree lined gravel sweeping driveway, could potentially meet requirements for a variety of both residential and commercial usage, (subject to any appropriate planning permissions being obtained). The country estate of Straw Hill is conveniently situated just off Donaghcloney, Main Street with its picturesque main sweeping tree-lined driveway and entrance located off the Hall Road. Donaghcloney, itself is a small country village located on the edge of the larger market town of Dromore, Co. Down and which is historically famous for both its cricket and connections to the Irish linen industry. Indeed centrality is the key to any description of Straw Hill, with the A1 dual carriageway at Dromore just a short drive away allowing easy access to the A1 dual carriageway the main arterial route which runs between Sprucefield, the M1 motorway and the South.At the heart of the Straw Hill Estate is the original listed Victorian mansion house, which was built in 1846. It comprises 4 fine reception rooms and 6 ensuite bedrooms all of which still retain many of the features of the Victorian period but which are now complimented by those conveniences expected for 21st century living.
On arrival a quaint gate lodge greets you just inside the impressive main entrance gates, which lead to the main driveway. To the rear of the estate in a beautiful courtyard setting there is a truly amazing guest lodge, a modern office suite and a leisure suite. Then beyond this there is a working yard with offices, stables, lounge yard and garaging all of which are surrounded by the beautiful grounds and gardens. It is easy to imagine sitting out in the beautiful walled garden or strolling through the wooded area or along the bridle paths by the River Lagan in the summer sunshine.
