A rare mid-century modern residence set within a beautifully mature and private site seven miles from Belfast.

Designed in the 1960s by an architect owner and influenced by the work of Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, this distinctive home showcases characteristic features of the era, including cedar cladding, copper detailing, and decorative internal brickwork.

The property sits within generous grounds featuring sweeping lawns, established trees and specimen trees including a magnificent copper beech and an Irish fairy tree offering exceptional privacy and a tranquil setting.

While requiring renovation, the house retains strong architectural integrity and presents a compelling opportunity for a design-led restoration.

Well located for access to Belfast, airports, schools, and the coast, this is a unique opportunity to reimagine a home of genuine character and provenance.
