Additional Information

A rare opportunity to acquire a storied 18th-century country house, with mature grounds at the foot of the Mourne Mountains — one of  Northern  Ireland's most treasured landscapes.

 

The Briers Country House is a substantial and characterful property dating from circa 1800, set on approximately 1.5 acres of manicured and mature grounds on Middle Tollymore Road, just 1.5 miles north of  Newcastle town centre. With over 8,500 square feet of accommodation spread across two floors, the property presents an exceptional opportunity for owner-occupiers, hospitality operators, or investors seeking an established ongoing concern in one of County Down's most sought-after locations.

The main house currently operates as a highly regarded guest accommodation, holding a 4-star rating. Nine beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms — including a range of double, twin, and accessible rooms — are complemented by a welcoming dining room, a cosy bar and snug with Sky Sports, a library, and generous communal spaces throughout.

The grounds are a particular feature of the property, enveloping the house in a rich tapestry of native trees — Maple, Rowan, Ash, Alder, Norway Maple and Grey Elder among them — creating a sense of privacy and seclusion rarely found so close to a town. A sun terrace, picnic area, and barbecue facilities extend the guest experience into the open air during the warmer months.

Adding significant commercial versatility, the site also includes two separate three-bedroom self-catering cottages complete with a private hot tub — ideal for longer stays, family retreats, or premium short-let income. Free on-site parking, EV charging facilities, bicycle rental, and a taxi booking service further enhance the guest offering.

Investment & Development Potential 

The Briers represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a profitable, operational hospitality business with scope to expand. The generous plot size and flexible accommodation mix — main house plus two independent cottages — lend themselves equally to continued operation as a boutique B&B and event venue, or to sensitive  conversion/development subject to the necessary consents. The property's outstanding reputation and established customer base provide a strong platform for any incoming operator.
