Drumlough School House - 200 Dromara Road, Hillsborough, BT26 6QW

Originally dating to circa 1910, Drumlough School House has been masterfully transformed from a charming rural schoolhouse into a remarkable contemporary family home where history and modern living blend seamlessly. Extended and extensively modernised, the property now offers a lifestyle that is both luxurious and full of character.

From the moment you step inside, every room makes an impression. Original features take centre stage—exposed brickwork, vaulted ceilings with beams, and a striking cast-iron spiral staircase that feels more like a piece of art than a staircase. The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen and dining space, fully equipped for modern family life, yet rich in period detail. The views on arrival are simply breath-taking, drawing your eye through the home and out to rolling countryside.

Flowing from the kitchen is a stunning family dining and living area with a central chimney and fires to either side, creating a warm, atmospheric hub for gatherings. A separate sitting room with woodburning stove offers a cosy retreat away from the main living space. A utility room and ground floor WC add practicality. A further separate living area offers space away from the hustle and bustle of the main hub, here you can retreat, close the doors, fire up the wood burning stove and gaze over the Co. Down hills.

There are four exceptional bedrooms, including luxurious suites. The principal bedroom is a true sanctuary with hotel-style touches, dressing space, ensuite and a statement bath. Another ensuite bedroom on the ground floor provides flexibility for guests or multi-generational living.

Outside, landscaped gardens enjoy a south-westerly aspect with far-reaching countryside views, a sheltered patio and feature fire-pit/BBQ area—perfect for entertaining. Despite its tranquil setting, the property is within 10 minutes of Hillsborough, Sprucefield and the motorway network.
