"Laureldene" affords the quality of life that the countryside can offer and is well placed within the commuter belt for Belfast and Lisburn and the towns of Downpatrick, Saintfield, Newtownards, and Comber. Originally constructed as a Victorian farm cottage in 1897 this beautiful country home is set on a level c.1 acre plot, offers undeniable charm which has been incredibly well maintained of the years and enjoys a high level of privacy. Our clients purchased "Laureldene" 24 years ago and set about a comprehensive refurbishment programme, sympathetically modernising, and significantly extended and improved the property to provide a beautiful and desirable, character filled, family home.
The property is neatly tucked away off the Comber Road at the end of a private laneway on the cusp of the Balloo settlement, offers mature gardens with ample areas to dine, relax or for children to play, a small collection of stone outbuildings and extensive concrete drive leading to ample parking area. Living in "Laureldene", you will enjoy a host of local amenities including a handy Post Office, country store, farm shop, café, the Michelin award winning Balloo House, Poachers Pocket in Lisbane and Daft Eddies on Sketrick Island. From a lifestyle perspective, the location is unrivalled - Strangford Lough Yacht Club/ Activity Centre, Ringhaddy Cruising Club and East Down Yacht Club are all close by for sailing enthusiasts, Killinchy Primary School, coastal walks, Mahee Island, Delamont Country Park and the National Trust properties at Rowallane and Castle Ward are all easily accessible.
The accommodation has been painstakingly redesigned to provide an extremely deceptive family oriented space, meeting modern day living needs, whilst retaining the original charm of the property. Externally, there are a collection of stone outbuildings which could have many uses, a games room in a stone barn and, of particular note, a fabulous detached 2 storey converted stone barn which provides additional self-sufficient guest accommodation or may be ideal for a dependant relative.
The sale of "Laureldene" presents a fabulous opportunity to acquire a substantial family home, set amidst beautiful countryside and within the commuter belt only 10 minutes from Comber and 25 minutes from Belfast.
