The River Mill, 43 Ballyclander Road, Ardglass, Downpatrick BT30 7DE

Additional Information

Ballyclander Road is a pretty country lane between Downpatrick and Ardglass. Here is where you will find The River Mill, one of two converted mill buildings surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside The original linen mill was built in 1719 for the Wards from the nearby Castle Ward. At the time of the famine in 1847 it was extended by A and W Seed and converted into a grain mill. Over the last few years the entire building has been lovingly restored and made in to a stunning modern home. It was completed in 2008 and since then has been successfully run as a luxury B & B but would be equally suitable as a manageable family home with plenty of room for those who work from home. The well proportioned accommodation is bright and spacious and has been finished to a high standard throughout. The main living space with its open plan contemporary kitchen is great for entertaining. All five double bedrooms have their own fully tiled wet rooms with power showers During the restoration much thought went into creating a home which is warm, environmentally friendly and energy saving. To this end there is an effective geothermal under floor heating system and a high specification of insulation. The natural materials used, blend well into the beautiful natural surroundings. Outside in the gardens there is plenty of space for growing your own produce or to sit and relax beside the stream. An additional derelict stone outbuilding is ripe for restoration and could be converted for a variety of uses (subject to planning) This unique home is conveniently located. There is a wealth of accessible countryside and coastline nearby. The coastal village of Ardglass with its famous golf club, castles, marina and restaurants is a few minutes away as are the beaches at Coney Island and Tyrella. Strangford Lough with its islands and picturesque villages is also close by as it Downpatrick with its links to Saint Patrick. This unusual sale represents a rare opportunity to purchase a converted historic building in a fabulous location. Viewing is highly recommended.
