Last week we received a brochure in the post from a Belfast property consultant. 

Enclosed with the brochure was a letter …….

‘Please find enclosed information regarding a unique opportunity which we believe may be of interest to your company and future clients.  Straw Hill House, coach yard, stables and grounds are available to hire for weddings or any special events that your clients may have’ 

The brochure described the property as .......

‘Straw Hill comprises a listed Victorian mansion dating to 1846, Coach Yard, Gate Lodge and stables all recently refurbished and maintained to the highest standards.  A fishing lodge is currently under construction including a boathouse fronting the River Lagan’  The approach to the 6 bed main house is via Hall Road with extensive manicured lawns and landscaping along the entrance way. The entire estate comprises c. 30 acres, of which part is manicured lawns and landscaping, part agricultural and part equestrian'

Straw Hill is situated in the village of Donaghcloney just off the main road between Lurgan and Banbridge.   It is approximately 18 miles from Belfast.
