A distinguished Grade B1 listed Georgian residence, Annsborough House blends timeless elegance with modern comfort, set on a mature one-acre private site within walking distance of Castlewellan’s amenities. Rich in character, the property features exceptional period detail, including original fireplaces, ornate cornicing, ceiling roses, and refined architectural finishes rarely found in modern homes.

Dating back to the early 1700s, the house was extended between 1810–1820 by William and James Murland, key figures in the local linen industry, and birthplace of James Murland. Its historical integrity was carefully preserved during a 1998 refurbishment overseen by Historic Monuments.

The interior opens with an impressive vestibule leading to a grand hallway. Three elegant reception rooms - the morning room, drawing room, and library feature high ceilings, parquet flooring and marble fireplaces. The spacious kitchen and dining area, complete with granite worktops and a central island, flows into a bright sunroom. The ground floor also includes a bathroom, utility room, and preparation kitchen.

Upstairs, a striking cast iron staircase leads to six well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate shower room. Former servant’s quarters provide two additional versatile rooms.

Externally, the property enjoys private, mature gardens with expansive lawns. Traditional stone outbuildings including stables, a coach house, pig houses, hay lofts, and a workshop retain their original charm and offer significant potential.

Annsborough House presents a rare opportunity as a family home, development project (subject to planning), or hospitality venture, set in the scenic surroundings of Castlewellan near the Mourne Mountains.
