Fort Hill Farm, 23 Ballywalter Road Greyabbey , BT22 2RF

Additional Information

A beautiful small holding comprising farmhouse, extensive yard and around 24 acres of pasture on an elevated site with spectacular views over countryside to the Irish Sea with the coast of Scotland being visible on a clear day. In the other direction views are over the Ards Peninsula towards Strangford Lough with the Mournes in the background. 

With the house and yard it is all about potential as the farmhouse is in need of complete renovation.  However, it is a handsome property with well proportioned rooms that will make a very comfortable family home.  The yard appears to be in reasonable structural order and would be suitable for a number of uses including horses, other livestock or storage areas for hobbies or running a business from home.   The beauty of the yard is that animals can access it from the rear yard meaning the courtyard adjacent to the house will be easier to maintain. The land, divided into 6 fields is directly accessed from the yard is presently in pasture but would be suitable for growing cereals or cutting.

Fort Hill Farm should have broad appeal to either those with a horsey background or those wanting to enjoy the benefits of being a smallholder
