A stunning own-door, ground floor apartment with two bedrooms; a private garden courtyard and dedicated parking, extending to approximately 1100 sq ft with impressive ceiling heights of up to 12 feet.

The apartment is set within The Moat, a distinguished listed building originally constructed as a grand mansion and later converted into apartments. The building was designed in 1864 by celebrated architect William Joseph Barre, regarded as one of Ulster’s finest Victorian architects; whose notable works include the Albert Memorial Clock and The Ulster Hall in Belfast. The Moat is also featured in the publication ‘Architects of Ulster: W J Barre’ by Paul Harron.

In late 2025, the apartment underwent a comprehensive refurbishment to an exceptional standard. Works included upgraded sound insulation to the ceilings, new electrics with all lighting on dimmers, new plumbing, cast-iron radiators, a new gas boiler, a bespoke solid wood kitchen, bespoke solid wood wardrobes, a newly fitted primary shower, and custom-designed engineered oak flooring throughout, finished in an ebony stain.
