A Magnificent Georgian Estate on the Banks of the River Lagan

A Magnificent Georgian Grade B1 Listed Estate on the Banks of the River Lagan

Set within c. 28 acres of exceptional grounds on the banks of the River Lagan, Lagan Lodge is a truly outstanding country estate offering an unrivalled combination of history, scale, and immaculate modern living — all within easy reach of Belfast (approx. 20 minutes), Dublin airport (approx. 70 minutes) and Dublin (approx. 80 minutes).

Built circa 1830 by the renowned McMurray Linen Dynasty, this magnificent former linen house stands as a Grade B1 listed testament to Ulster's rich industrial heritage. Lovingly and painstakingly restored to an award-winning standard in 2001, the property has since undergone further refurbishment and improvement in 2024, resulting in a rare and remarkable fusion of period grandeur and incredible modern finish — a home as much at ease today as it was nearly two centuries ago.

The principal residence offers five generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own en-suite, alongside multiple elegant reception rooms that showcase the character and craftsmanship of the original build. A huge banquet hall provides fantastic space for entertaining, while a beautiful garden room opens onto the pool terrace, blurring the boundary between indoor and outdoor living. A heated outdoor pool completes this exceptional entertaining offering. For equestrian enthusiasts, the estate further offers 9 stables, a well-maintained sand school and associated equestrian outbuildings, together with a charming walled garden and courtyard of period stone outbuildings. A separate, independent 3-bedroom original stone Yard House provides excellent additional accommodation, ideal for extended family or staff.

Beyond the immediate gardens, the estate extends to some 22.6 acres of land, including planted woodland and well-maintained pasture, with a unique riverside pathway tracing the banks of the Lagan along the estate's perimeter.

Lagan Lodge is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly wonderful country estate — a home of exceptional history, scale, and quality, finished to an incredible modern standard throughout, yet retaining every ounce of its period charm. Properties of this calibre, in a location of this quality, seldom come to the market.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that Lagan Lodge has to offer.

Thoughtfully positioned mature specimen trees lend a wonderful sense of seclusion and beautifully frame the approach, while interlinking grass lawns soften the setting throughout. The avenue forks toward the courtyard and a further yard area, before looping gracefully around a central lawn anchored by a fine mature tree. To the west of the house, a patio unfolds directly from the kitchen, leading to the pool terrace — a truly stunning addition to the gardens, flanked by rose bed borders. The adjoining garden room is dressed in climbers and creepers, bringing colour and greenery to the bi-folding doors year-round. Beyond, formal gardens burst with spectacular planting, while further still lies a well-maintained sand school, ideal for equestrian pursuits. The dwelling occupies a residential site of c. 5.3 acres, with a further c. 22.6 acres of land beyond, comprising arable land bordered by planted woodland and river bank trails.

Full of period character, the out buildings are entirely of original stone build, finished with striking red timber doors.

Laid out with well-stocked borders, vibrant seasonal planting, a kitchen garden and specimen trees. Connected by gravelled pathways and timber benches positioned to enjoy the surroundings.

The Land, Woods and Trails

The house is embraced on its northern, eastern and western sides by some 22.6 acres of agricultural land, forming a magnificent setting of genuine scale and privacy. Approximately 4 acres of mature planted woodland frame much of the estate's perimeter, offering both shelter and striking visual interest throughout the seasons. A unique stone pathway winds its way through the woodland and down along the banks of the River Lagan, tracing a wonderful walking loop around the entire perimeter of the estate — a rare and idyllic feature for those who enjoy the outdoors on their own doorstep. The arable land itself is laid to permanent pasture, having been reseeded in 2024, and is enclosed throughout by new stock-proof fencing (2024) — offering excellent grazing and immediate potential for equestrian or agricultural use.
