We are delighted to present the exceptional ‘Pier House’ to the open market. This unique property boasts an eye-catching, contrasting, contemporary design to the surrounding mature, leafy and idyllic landscape it is nestled between on Sketrick Island. It is a rare opportunity to acquire such a property with direct Lough access with its own slipway and floating pontoon. Internally the accommodation is laid out over two levels and spans to 5,000 sqft. You are greeted by an impressive reception hall with woodburning strove, staircase to first floor with bridge across to the bedrooms. The main living space is a generous open plan area with contemporary kitchen, feature central woodburning stove with large picture windows in the living area and a dining nook. From here there is a glass link with sliding doors outside and to an internal courtyard garden, to a sitting room. In addition, on the ground floor are two bedrooms, both en suite, and one with walk in dressing room, a utility room, cloakroom and access to the integral garage. On the first floor is a living room with vaulted ceiling and sliding doors to a large roof terrace overlooking the Lough and surrounding islands, and two further bedrooms both en suite, with the principal suite benefitting from a large walk dressing room. Outside you approach the property via remote electric gates to a large pebbled driveway, you are surrounded by manicured landscaped gardens. To the seaward side there is a terrace space with views across to the neighbouring islands and access to your private floating pontoon. In addition there is a large boat house situated at the top of the private slipway for ease of dry storage when returning to shore. The property is within walking distance of many local amenities including the historic Ballydorn Lightship, "Petrel", (the clubhouse for the Down Cruising Club), and Strangford Lough Yacht Club in Whiterock. The celebrated restaurant "Daft Eddy’s" is equally convenient. The sale of this magnificent property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a waterfront home on Strangford Lough with direct access to the Lough. Viewing is by private appointment and is highly recommended.
