A Characterful Grade II Listed Property
Steeped in history and brimming with character, 6B The Old Cunningburn Corn Mill is a deceptively spacious and distinctive home, forming part of this historic mill complex dating back to 1776. Originally built by Alexander Stewart, owner of the Mount Stewart Estate, the complex underwent extensive renovation and conversion around the turn of the millennium, creating a unique collection of individual dwellings.
Believed to be Grade II listed, this charming mid-terrace bungalow beautifully combines period character with thoughtful modern touches. Exposed wooden beams, traditional wooden doors and areas of exposed brick and stone create a warm, rustic ambience throughout, perfectly complementing the property's appealing farmhouse style.
The accommodation is both flexible and generous, offering up to four bedrooms if required. The heart of the home is the open-plan farmhouse-style kitchen and sitting/dining area, featuring a Range cooker and central island, providing an ideal space for everyday living and entertaining. A separate lounge offers a welcoming retreat, complete with a feature fireplace and French doors opening onto the rear garden.
The ground floor also benefits from a spacious master bedroom with en-suite shower room, a family bathroom and a versatile additional reception room, which could serve as a fourth bedroom, snug, study or home office. This room leads through to a garden room at the rear, offering further flexibility and a pleasant connection with the outside space.
Stairs lead to an impressive first-floor gallery landing, providing a wonderful sense of space and character, together with two further bedrooms and a separate WC.
Externally, the property features an enclosed rear yard leading to a useful utility/workshop area, with access to the front via a car port. To the front, gravel beds and mature shrubs provide an attractive approach.
Further benefits include oil-fired central heating, although prospective purchasers should note that the windows and doors are timber-framed and single-glazed, and the property is served by a private sewage treatment system.
Offering a rare opportunity to acquire a home rich in history, charm and individuality, this intriguing property will appeal to buyers seeking something a little different, with versatile accommodation and a wealth of original features.
