The estate on the Ards peninsula, comprising an 18th century manor house and renowned gardens and grounds, benefits from a favourable microclimate and a commanding location next to Strangford Lough. 

The Temple of the Winds - a neoclassical folly on an adjacent hill - can also be seen. At the head of the lough the landmark Scrabo Tower is silhouetted against the sky.

Strangford Lough is the largest sea inlet in the British Isles. It's part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; Northern Ireland's first Marine Conservation Zone; and is a Special Area of Conservation for its important wildlife.
