Doonhill House is an imposing detached Victorian house nestled within 2.5 acres of private garden grounds. The property offers bright, spacious accommodation throughout whilst retaining many of its original features. Including ornate ceiling cornicing and hardwood window shutters which adds to the charm and ambience.
Accessed via a private gravel driveway which leads to the front of the property there is ample parking for a number of vehicles. The secluded and tranquil garden grounds
of Doonhill House wrap around the main house; being well sheltered by the original estate wall providing wonderfully private grounds.
This delightful space is mainly laid to lawn with a variety of interesting areas well stocked with shrubs and perennial plants, providing colour all year round, as well as a
sheltered patio area providing an ideal location for alfresco dining.
