Simon Brien is delighted to bring this most attractive detached home to the open market. “The Hide”, 156 Portaferry Road, is set in a stunning elevated position overlooking Strangford Lough, and further to the Mourne Mountains on a clear day. This superb period home was originally constructed in the late 1930’s, and is a fantastic example of the era’s architecture, with many of its original features remaining. Our clients have upgraded and modernised the property extremely sympathetically during their custodianship, leaving little for the new owners to do, but move in and immediately start to enjoy living in “The Hide”. The property’s character, location and elevated position are attributes belonging to a property that rarely come to the market, with the obvious advantage of overlooking the busy waters of Strangford Lough and Newtownards Sailing Club. Interest levels are likely to be high, so please contact our Newtownards office at your earliest convenience.
