Occupying a generous, mature site in the heart of Holywood, 33 Demesne Road represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character and potential in one of the town's most desirable and well-established addresses. Set within walking distance of Holywood's vibrant town centre, this charming detached residence combines the grace of a bygone era with the scope to modernise, restore, or even redevelop to create a truly exceptional family home.

The property is approached by a loose pebbled driveway and framed by mature trees, shrubs, and lawned gardens, surrounding the house on all sides, providing privacy and a tranquil setting. The handsome façade is enhanced by a solid mahogany front door with arched top light, setting the tone for the character and warmth that continues throughout the interior.

Elegant reception rooms with high corniced ceilings, picture rails, bay windows, and original marble fireplaces echo the home's heritage. Large windows flood the rooms with natural light and provide outlooks over the mature gardens. The kitchen enjoys garden views and offers excellent family dining space, while additional reception rooms provide flexibility for living or home working.

The delightful gardens are a key feature. The rear garden offers privacy, with paved patios, established planting, and space for outdoor entertaining or future extension. A detached garage, garden stores, and a recently installed oil-fired boiler further enhance practicality.
