From the moment you step inside, this Victorian townhouse feels like a place with a real story to tell. The high ceilings, ornate cornicing, deep skirtings and beautiful fireplaces give every room a real presence, and it’s clear how well the original features have been cared for. At the same time, the house has been sensitively modernised, so it feels welcoming and comfortable rather than formal. It’s a home with real character, the sort you simply can’t recreate today.

The open-plan kitchen, living and dining space on the ground floor is a standout. Bright and generous, with a lantern skylight and bi-folding doors to the garden, it’s the kind of room that naturally becomes the heart of day-to-day life. The rest of the house flows easily across four floors, with a lovely first-floor drawing room, five bedrooms, a luxurious bathroom, and a principal suite complete with dressing room and ensuite. Every level has something a little special - whether it’s the fireplaces, the original features, or the views out over Church Road and towards the sea.

Outside, the rear garden feels mature and private, with space to entertain and room for two cars - a real bonus so close to Holywood town centre. With cafés, shops and coastal walks just a short stroll away, this is a rare chance to own a period home that blends beauty, practicality and everyday comfort in a way that’s genuinely hard to find.
