5 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Newtownards

3 5 1

48 Mountstewart Road is undoubtedly one of the finest examples of how to sympathetically but extensively renovate and extend a property in such a way that you are able to retain the character associated with properties of this era. The previous owner combined adjoining cottages to create this detached property which was then significantly renovated & extended by the current owner of 30 plus years, increasing the size and scale. Using sympathetic design and meticulous attention to detail this overhaul was transformative while maintaining integrity of the original cottage. The extended slate roof and stone facade is indistinguishable from the 19th Century structure with the interior treatment equally as impressive and seamless.
This has created a deceptively spacious family home with versatile and flexible accommodation providing a range of different layouts to suit the needs of the owners, the property possesses that all important feeling of warmth and character highlighted by features such as solid oak wooden floor, cast iron stoves, cast iron radiators and exposed stone walls.
Upon entering the property you will instantly notice the immaculate finish. On the ground floor you have a spacious drawing room with solid oak wooden floor, living room with feature vaulted ceiling, cast iron wood burning stove and wooden sleeper mantel, guest bedroom with en suite shower room, superb kitchen with range of bespoke solid wood hand painted units, granite work surfaces, range of integrated appliances and granite display shelves. Off the kitchen you will find undoubtedly the room of the house which is a magnificent large open plan family room with casual dining area, solid oak floor, tongue and groove ceiling, cast iron wood burning stove, exposed stone walls and two sets of double glazed French doors to outside. Upstairs, which is accessed by two staircases, this fine property is further enhanced by having four additional bedrooms including main bedroom with built-in wardrobe, aspect to mature rear garden and en suite shower room with dressing area. One of the bedrooms could be that all important home office.

You also have a bathroom with four piece suite which includes free standing cast iron bath and separate shower cubicle. Other benefits include oil fired central heating, partially double glazed windows, downstairs WC and utility room.
Outside does not disappoint either. The property sits on an idyllic mature semi rural site of around an acre with beautifully presented mature gardens surrounding the property but particularly to the rear with its array of colourful flowers, plants, trees and shrubs with the stunning County Down scenery as the wider landscape from nearby Strangford Lough to the Mourne Mountains.

It also has various areas to sit and take in the beautiful scenery. You also have a detached double garage which is currently partitioned to provide a garden store to the rear. Above this you have a studio which could be used as a gym, office, games room, bar, etc, subject to necessary approvals. It has an extensive outside timber decked terrace making this a property which is excellent for entertaining both internally and externally. A driveway and parking area provides ample space for cars, caravans, boats, horse boxes, etc.
The property is adjacent to and originally part of the Mount Stewart Estate with it's fascinating history and world famous gardens, now operated by the National Trust.

Conveniently positioned with easy access into Newtownards’ thriving town centre as well as other coastal towns such as Bangor, Donaghadee and Greyabbey and just 15 miles to Belfast City Airport.

There are also a variety of tourist attractions close by such as, Scrabo Tower, Killynether Forest Park and Portaferry Aquarium. A viewing is thoroughly recommended at your earliest opportunity so as to appreciate it in its entirety.
