This stunning, late Georgian, former rectory sits proudly within its own attractive, and mature grounds extending to circa 2 acres. Built in 1818 It stands on the site of the medieval church of St. Nicholas, and remnants of the original build can be found within the grounds of the rectory. Located on the outskirts of Portaferry, this property is accessed via a gated entrance and can only be fully
seen when one emerges from under the mature trees surrounding the house and driveway. Built in 1818, the house retains most of its original features including timber sash windows throughout and has a Victorian porch leading to the original doorway, which has a stunning elliptical fanlight and showcases the house in its full glory. The two main, well proportioned receptions of equal size, are on either side of the wide central hall. To the rear of the ground floor there is spectacular, ornate, Multi-Floor Gallery Staircase, and a large kitchen overlooking the back garden, utility area, pantry, wine cellar and access to the rear courtyard and walled garden. There are a number of storage rooms, and a W.C., The upper storeys have a large family bathroom and separate W.C., library room, 6 large bedrooms, 2 with and additional room, suitable for conversion to ensuite or dressing area, and a playroom allowing for fully adaptable living accommodation throughout the house. When the term Old Rectory is used it usually means a very substantial family home, with spacious, elegant principal rooms, high ceilings, abundant period features, shuttered windows, sweeping staircase, outbuildings and walled garden and this property is no exception. The house was purchased in 1999 and the current owner has begun a scheme to restore the property to its former glory which has paved the way for someone to take over and complete the restoration of this beautiful, unique, historical property, which is listed as a Building of Special Architectural and Historic Value (Category B1)
