The Owner's Perspective...
"Its been a joy to live at Dunelm and raise our family in such beautiful, healthy surroundings and we have had the luxury of great neighbours. Our children loved growing up here. Our first was born the day after we agreed to buy the house.
There was so much space and freedom. We’ve had trampolines, secret tree houses, zip-lines and then the gym and den were a blessing during Covid where four teenagers could safely mix with friends. Its so private yet an easy commute to Belfast, Lisburn and Newtownards and so handy for schools.
The size of the site offered so much opportunity to do lots of things with the garden - small orchard, fruits beds, greenhouse, mature lawns and shrubs beds; all designed for minimum maintenance but maximum enjoyment. The house itself is quirky with different stairs and cellar and secret door and many rooms with access outside. There’s so much space, allowing everyone privacy but all the front rooms open up to create one giant entertaining space for large family gatherings. We loved waking up in the morning looking out the bedroom window and seeing a different picture of the Mournes every day"
