Set within magnificent mature gardens extending to approximately 0.35 acres, LYNCOT is an exceptional double-fronted red brick detached residence occupying one of the most prestigious addresses in North Belfast.


Beautifully preserved and sympathetically enhanced over the years, this outstanding family home effortlessly combines the grandeur and craftsmanship of a bygone era with the comforts and versatility demanded by modern family living.


From the moment of arrival, the home's timeless elegance is immediately apparent. A striking stained-glass entrance door opens to an inner porch where the original mosaic tiled floor provides a fitting introduction to the wealth of original and period features found throughout. Beyond, the impressive reception hall showcases high ceilings, intricate original and period detailing and a wonderful sense of space that continues throughout this remarkable home.


The elegant front sitting room is centred around an original open fireplace and enjoys an abundance of natural light, creating a warm and inviting setting. The principal reception accommodation continues into an impressive open-plan drawing room where a beautiful bay window, period architectural features and a gas fire combine to create an exceptional space for entertaining and family gatherings.


Further along the hallway is a highly versatile fourth reception room, equally suited as a ground floor bedroom, home office or additional family room. A cloakroom, generous understairs storage, fitted sauna and contemporary ground floor wet room further enhance the flexibility of the accommodation.


Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the magnificent rear extension. This beautifully designed open-plan kitchen and dining space is flooded with natural light from an array of overhead skylights and enjoys uninterrupted views across the spectacular rear gardens. Designed with both family life and entertaining in mind, this stunning space seamlessly connects the indoors with the beautiful surroundings beyond. A separate fully plumbed utility room provides excellent additional practicality.


The sweeping first-floor landing is beautifully illuminated by two exquisite original stained-glass picture windows, while access is also provided to a fully floored loft offering superb additional storage.


The first floor hosts four generous bedrooms, three of which benefit from elegant bay windows that further enhance the home's period character. The magnificent principal suite enjoys the luxury of a full-size dressing room and private en suite WC. From the third bedroom, elevated views stretch across Belfast towards Belfast Lough, with Scotland visible on particularly clear days. A spacious family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.


The grounds surrounding LYNCOT are truly exceptional and undoubtedly rank among the property's most outstanding features. Beautifully established and lovingly maintained over many years, the gardens offer an extraordinary level of privacy, colour and tranquillity rarely found within the city. Meandering paved pathways weave through extensive lawns, mature trees, flowering borders and an abundance of shrubs and seasonal planting. Apple trees, berry trees and an impressive collection of mature plants create a picturesque setting throughout the seasons, while a charming greenhouse offers the perfect retreat for keen gardeners. A generous paved terrace immediately off the kitchen provides an idyllic space for outdoor dining and entertaining, overlooking what feels like an endless garden extending into peaceful landscaped surroundings. The front and side gardens are equally well maintained, while a sweeping driveway leads to a detached cavity wall insulated garage.


Properties of this calibre, occupying gardens of this scale and offering such beautifully preserved period character, are exceptionally rare. LYNCOT presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a landmark family home that has been cherished for decades and is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodians.
