The house and outbuildings formed part of the original Crawfordsburn Estate dating from circa 1820. This fine residence is steeped in history and appears in a number of historical documents due to its noteworthy occupants including members of the Crawford family of Crawfordsburn House and Mrs J Perceval Maxwell of the prominent County Down family. Her father David Stewart Ker, served as Deputy Lieutenant and High Sheriff of County Down and Antrim and Member of Parliament for Downpatrick and County Down over the period from 1841 to 1857. In 1897 the Belfast Newsletter described the house as within easy distance of Helen s Bay station with good stabling and coachhouse accommodation and a large walled garden with fine vineries and hothouses By 1900 the house was occupied by James Craig a prominent linen manufacturer whose firm was based in Linenhall street in Belfast. The house was subsequently occupied by the Lindsay family who remained in the house for many decades. The 1911 census indicates that also resident were a staff of four, a coachman, parlourmaid, housemaid and cook. In more recent times the house has been tastefully restored and the current owners have spared no expense with the standard of specification and finishes throughout both internally and externally. Located on a spacious site on the outskirts of Crawfordsburn village and approached by a sweeping driveway this stunning period residence has been thoughtfully and carefully refurbished to offer a luxurious home suitable for modern living while still retaining many of the original architectural features and generously proportioned rooms. This unique property has private access into Crawfordsburn Country Park and enjoys the ambience of the Crawfordsburn waterfall.
