We are delighted to present Drumadillar, a historical and imposing family property located within the fashionable Demesne Road area, a short stroll from Holywood town centre. The current owners have enjoyed 50 years of fond memories stretching over 3 generations and believe the time is now right to hand the baton on to a new family. Drumadillar was home to the world-renowned physicist Sir Joseph Larmor, accredited with modern advancements in Atomic Physics.

With three reception rooms and seven bedrooms, Drumadillar provides ample space for family living and entertaining. The property occupies a very generous private site with potential for creative remodelling and further expansion for the discerning purchaser. The grounds offer a prime site for development of an additional dwelling subject to appropriate permissions.

Whether your interest is in thoughtfully restyling Drumadillar into your ideal modern family home or maximising its value through the redevelopment of the site, No.56 provides a fantastic opportunity to own a piece of Holywood’s history.
