Groom's Cottage, 2 Coach Horse Lane , Seaforde Downpatrick , BT30 8PP

Additional Information

Located at the edge of the Seaforde Demesne, Groom’s Cottage is part of a delightful old mill, converted in 2008 into seven fabulous natural stone homes.  It is an outstanding complex of high quality properties which have been designed with flair and finished to a high specification with Groom’s, Footman’s, Woodman’s and Millar’s Cottages backing on to a central courtyard. It is the most peaceful location, yet not isolated in any respect and just a short walk from the picturesque village where there is an active Community Association.

The grounds are extremely well kept under a management company contract and the properties are approached by a private concrete lane (Coach Horse Lane) from Cottage Road.

Groom’s Cottage has a wonderful period feel with substantial natural stone walls which are exposed in at least one wall in every room with deep window and door reveals with brick arches, wooden floors, period style radiators and an abundance of natural light due to the clever design and use of glazed doors with side panels and roof lights

Downstairs comprises entrance hall, living room, kitchen, utility room and guest en suite bedroom while upstairs there is the master suite which comprises two large adjoining rooms with en suite shower room, study and further bedoom.  Although technically a three bedoom house, there is so much space in the master bedroom and adjacent dressing room, a fourth bedroom would only be a matter of adding a stud wall.

The central courtyard serves four properties and it is looked after by the management company but there is also a private patio belonging to the property and a gravelled area to the front with plenty of room for parking and turning.

This property is very versatile and will suit buyers at various stages of life, from young professional couples to those downsizing and looking for a more manageable home.
