Steeped in local history, this stunning property was formerly known as The Dunleath Arms, having served as both a hunting lodge and public house, and retains many of its original features.

Instantly recognisable by its white roughcast façade and rosemary tile roof, the property has long been a landmark on the Ards Peninsula. Built circa 1902, the current owners have sympathetically restored the home while retaining a wealth of beautiful period features including wood panelling, ornate cornicing, ceiling roses and original tiling.

Upon entering, the original floor tiles lead through to the principal reception rooms. The dining room features extensive wood panelling, a bay window with leaded glass panels incorporating the Dunleath Arms crest, and views over the front garden. The drawing room is particularly impressive, featuring a large open fireplace, wood panelling, a further bay window with window seats and a side door providing access to the courtyard. The living room benefits from another open fireplace and leads through to the kitchen.

The country-style kitchen offers a good range of fitted and feature units, together with a separate utility room, complementing the character of the wider property.

The first floor provides four generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a private balcony and ensuite, with a further double bedroom located alongside. Two additional double bedrooms are positioned to the opposite side, together with a spacious family bathroom.

Externally, the enclosed courtyard provides a private seating area, raised planted beds and mature shrubs and trees. Beyond this is parking for up to two cars, together with two useful outbuildings benefiting from planning permission for conversion to a two bedroom cottage. Planning Ref: LA06/2025/0984/F

This unique B1 Listed property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home rich in history and character, occupying a wonderful seaside setting on the Ards Pennisula.
