This really is a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase such a magnificent property.
The property is approximately a fifty-minute drive from Belfast City and easily accessible to Downpatrick via the Strangford ferry. The house faces directly across from Kilclief on the Western Shore of Strangford Lough, and holds simply stunning and endlessly varied waterside views, extending across to the Mourne Mountains, which seem close from the property. In keeping with its origins, this cottage residence cleverly blends a modern appeal with traditional character.
The accommodation offers an entrance porch to the rear, large lounge with stove, large kitchen/ dining room and a conservatory, all feature magnificent marine views and direct access to the gardens.

Externally, the property nestles amidst naturally landscaped gardens and is surrounded by an array of mature specimen trees, plants, and shrubs. There is also a great sizes double garage access via a large gravel driveway, along with large gravel parking area- ideal for visiting guests.
Of further important note, Curlew Cottage also provides a stunning detached stone annex. The annex has recently undergone an extensive ‘back to bare stone’ refurbishment by Master Builders, O’Prey Developments, on behalf of our client. The Annex has an upside-down layout with entrance hall, sunroom, two double bedrooms and shower room on the ground floor. At first floor level there is a fantastic open plan kitchen/ living/ dining space with breathtaking views across Strangford Lough to surrounding farmland, Kilclief and the Mourne Mountains.
