The former "Dunleath Arms" hunting lodge and public house is steeped in history dating back to 1902 and retains much of its character, personality and charm from that period - You won't find another one quite like this."
Located on Ballywalter's main street, with some sea views and just a short stroll to the beach, this unique "link detached" home is B1 listed and retains many beautiful architectural features such as wood panelling, oak staircase, cast iron and tiled fireplaces, quarry tile flooring and corniced ceilings not to mention the stables and workshop to the rear. A surveyor has indicated that remedial works will be required potentially including a new roof, timber and damp treatments.
The first floor offers 4 double bedrooms, including a master with ensuite shower room and balcony, and a family bathroom, with both bath and separate shower, whilst the ground floor provides separate Lounge, formal Dining and Family rooms plus a country style kitchen and utility room. Externally there is a courtyard and parking area beyond, accessed from Well Road, and two large workshops/stables (roofs in need of repair).
