An historically significant Georgian estate – dating back almost 200 years – has hit the property market with a price tag of £3,250,000.
The magnificent Grade B1 listed ‘Lagan Lodge’ property, based on the Lower Quilly Road, Dromore offers prospective buyers the chance to own a substantial piece of County Down’s history.
Built around 1830 by the McMurray linen dynasty, the stunning eight-bedroom property sits on approximately 28 acres of countryside on the banks of the River Lagan.
According to the listing agent, Shooters, the estate combines its historic character with extensive modern upgrades, having undergone an award-winning restoration in 2001 before receiving further internal refurbishment and improvements in 2024.
The main residence extends to approximately 9,935 sq ft and features five bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom.
A three-bedroom cottage (guest or staff accommodation) of approximately 1,141 sq. ft sits separately too the main building.
Despite its modern comforts, the house retains an impressive collection of original Georgian features, including 12ft ceilings, grand fireplaces, sash windows with original glazing, full-length shutters, cast-iron radiators and original stone and tile flooring.
At the heart of the home is a hand-painted kitchen by Robinson’s of Belfast, complete with a five-door Aga and central island.
One of the property’s standout entertaining spaces is its banquet hall, which occupies what was formerly the linen lapping room. The room features a vaulted oak-beamed ceiling, reclaimed stone fireplace and fitted oak bar, reflecting the building’s links to the area’s linen industry.
Recreation and leisure is a key feature of the property.
Outside, the estate boasts a 10m by 5m heated swimming pool with an electric safety cover and York stone entertaining terrace, a private all-weather trail of approximately one mile runs around the estate perimeter, taking in both woodland and the banks of the River Lagan.
For equestrian enthusiasts, the property also includes nine loose-box stables, a tack room, full-length loft and sand school.
The property also includes a dedicated yoga and exercise studio, playroom, laundry and boot room, basement storage areas and the substantial banquet hall.
The self-contained cottage provides three further bedrooms, alongside its own living room, kitchen and bathroom..
With its combination of Georgian architecture, links to Northern Ireland’s linen industry, extensive grounds, equestrian facilities and modern amenities, Lagan Lodge represents a rare type of property in the Co Down market.
