Killynether House is situated in undoubtedly one of County Down's most sought after semi-rural locations with its elevated setting and extensive views over rolling County Down countryside to Strangford Lough. Killynether House is set in grounds extending to c. 18 acres, and whilst enjoying all of the attributes of country living is a short distance from neighbouring towns. Whilst enjoying impressive significance in terms of its stunning architecture the property is secluded from the road offering great privacy and exclusivity. The driveway sweeps past the cottages and lake up to the main house, and is bordered by mature shrub beds with specimen trees gracing the boundary. The main house has been sympathetically restored to retain traditional features and offers extensive accommodation over two levels. The house has been beautifully presented and decorated with a high end interior designer finish throughout. There is an exceptionally high standard of fixtures and fittings, with designer appliances in the kitchen and bathrooms, luxury tiling and flooring. The accommodation in brief consists of an impressive entrance hall, four reception rooms, kitchen and dining room, study, utility room, cloakroom and pantry. On the first floor there are four large double bedrooms, master suite with a dressing room and ensuite, bedroom two with ensuite, laundry room and a family bathroom. In addition to the main house there are three self-contained cottages. Each offer fabulous accommodation with two bedrooms and ample living space. They would be perfect for relatives, guests or as an Airbnb venture. For entertaining purposes there is a superb pool house which houses a 30 foot swimming pool with changing facilities, WC, sauna and kitchen. From the swimming pool area there are sliding doors to a terrace with brick BBQ and patio space. In addition as part of the pool house is a large garage space with heating and air conditioning. Externally the property offers ample outbuildings with a barn, stores, workshop and a greenhouse. Killynether House is only 20 minutes from Belfast City Airport, 45 minutes to Belfast International Airport. For everyday living it is a 5 minute drive to Newtownards, 10 minutes to Holywood, 10 minutes to Bangor and 20 minutes to Belfast City.
