Fourwinds is a detached four-bedroom house in Delgany on an acre of garden, the strongest selling point of this property directly opposite the rear gates of Delgany Golf Club. Douglas Newman Good is guiding £440,000-plus for Fourwinds, which will be auctioned on September 30th.

The large family-sized house is in good condition, but it is the garden which will attract most attention. It surrounds the house and is very private, with plenty of mature trees and flower borders. A lily pond in view of the house has a cascading waterfall and a fountain. Fourwinds is a modern house, with white-painted exterior walls and double bay windows to the front. The formal drawing/diningroom overlooks the pond and has a central raised brick fireplace with a stone hearth. A family sittingroom has a polished wood floor, wood-panelled walls and a feature stone fireplace. The kitchen/breakfastroom also has timber walls, a pine floor and ceiling and matching cupboards.

Upstairs, there are sea or mountain views from all the rooms. Three of the four bedrooms are double-sized and the smallest is a generous single. The main bedroom has louvred pine wardrobes and a shower en suite. Two further double rooms have wash-hand basins and one has built-in wardrobes. The single bedroom overlooks the golf club. The family bathroom is off the landing.

There is a separate tworoom building needing work which could be used as a studio.
