Full of charm and Steeped in History

Notably, West House combines the best of both worlds in its ability to replicate captivating elements of the past, all the while maintaining a sense of contemporary living.

First opened in 1926, West House was originally built to provide accommodation for nurses working within the city. Designed by the renowned James R. Young, West House is just one of the many outstanding buildings erected by the prolific Young and Mackenzie architectural firm. Responsible for much of the city’s significant buildings and notable landmarks, Young and Mackenzie have played a prominent role in the creation of the cultural and historic Belfast city which thrives today. Thanks to the spectacular new refurbishment of West House, this listed building is truly an architectural marvel which has withstood the test of time for almost one hundred years.

Throughout previous restoration works, the impeccable refurbishment of the original Edwardian Pavilions paved the way for the seamless incorporation of the old and the new into unique living spaces. West House offers the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with history, featuring seven immaculately designed homes. Boasting spacious accommodation and integrating high-quality, modern fixtures at every opportunity, these exceptional homes are the perfect choice when it comes to contemporary city living whilst encompassing significant features of the past.

Not only enabling residents of Belvoir Park to truly appreciate the beauty of momentous architecture, this exclusive site also imitates the natural attraction of the surrounding rural landscape. Residents of West House are guaranteed the experience of countryside living, all the while remaining a short distance from Belfast City Centre.
