SUMMARY

‘Springfield’, built in 1855, this truly magnificent Victorian country house was constructed for a prominent family associated with the linen industry.

Approached by a sweeping driveway, it occupies a slightly elevated situation with a high degree of privacy, and stunning countryside views set in beautifully mature landscaped grounds extending to approximately 5 acres. Whilst benefiting from this idyllic and tranquil location, it also offers convenience with both Lisburn and Hillsborough being only a short distance drive, leading schools, and shopping facilities easily accessible as well as excellent road and rail links to both Belfast and Dublin.

The property has been sympathetically refurbished in recent years by the present owners whilst retaining that all important original character associated with the period in which the house was constructed, and includes many of those original features that nowadays are extremely rare and much sought after. The property offers the most superb, extensive and adaptable accommodation that will give prospective buyers endless scope and opportunities to utilise for every aspect, and more of modern day family, and also working life. This is further enhanced by an array of stunning features both internally and externally which overall will offer the eventual buyer that unique chance to create their dream home.

Rarely does a home of this magnitude come onto the open market for sale, and Springfield will offer this one off opportunity of purchasing this truly exceptional country house combined with the practically and convenience of modern day living. Only on inspection could one fully appreciate Springfield in its entirety, and thus early inspection is simply a must.
