Set in the most idyllic rural situation in the middle of extensive farmland with a backdrop of Killynether woods and Scrabo Tower. To the front there are stunning, far reaching views towards Strangford Lough and the Mourne mountains in the distance.

‘Mount Cairn’ is a charming detached residence built in the 1930s and later extended in 1960’s adding the double fronted bay extension.

The current owners have undertaken considerable work to the property and yet it is a beautiful blank canvas for someone else to pick up the mantle to renovate and modernise further, if they wish.

The property comes with an extensive range of outbuildings from workshops, to open fronted corrugated barns, stables, long boat storage shed and of particular note is the old stone barn which dates back to the early 1800s and offer superb potential for further renovation and conversion into additional accommodation (subject to planning). Currently the old Stone barn has been partly converted to include a kitchen, seating area and potential bedroom space on the first floor and on the ground floor there is the feature ‘Rodeo Bar’ complete with built-in bar, wood burning stove, lighting and Yorkstone floor.

The beautiful mature gardens boast an array of evergreen and flowering shrubs with native trees providing a delightful shady canopy. The original grass tennis court area is now a delightful private space complete with built-in concrete seating surrounded by rockery gardens and mature hedging.

To the side original wrought iron painted gates give access to extensive concrete patio area leading to a front lawn boarded by mature gardens with architectural reclaimed sandstone detailing, pieces said to be from the original Killynether House.

The rear garden area includes a large original timber greenhouse, own well and an original piggery surrounded by mature planting of evergreen and flowering shrubs.

The property also benefits from a paddock extending to approximately an acre with timber ranch style fencing which may appeal to those with equine interests.

The property is situated off a long shared farm laneway and is conveniently located for ease of access to Comber, Newtownards and Belfast and all their associated local amenities and popular schools.

This property must be viewed to fully appreciate all that it offers!
