Exceptional homes in one of the country’s most desirable locations: life doesn’t get much better than this.
Holywood needs little introduction, but the opportunity to live moments from its thriving town centre definitely does. Sites of this quality are few and far between, especially in this area, making The Firs a sweet spot for families looking for a beautiful home that’s as closely connected to nature as it is to the town and surrounding area.
In many ways, The Firs is the best of both worlds: a secluded woodland setting, yet only a short stroll from the charming cafés, galleries and boutiques of Holywood’s High Street; the very latest in energy efficiency without sacrificing classic good looks or traditional materials and a tranquil sanctuary that’s only moments from road, rail and air travel connections. Take a morning stroll to pick up freshly baked bread, or perhaps down to the gym for a workout. Run the dogs in Redburn or Ballymenoch; head down to the water’s edge with the kids for a play at Seapark. Pick up some artisan cheese on the way back home or plan supper as you browse the deli counters and local butchers. Life is as leisurely or active as you want at The Firs, with so much variety of everything.
