Address : Clocgarran Hall, Killowen Old Road, Rostrevor, Newry, Co Down Price : €2,970,000 Agent : Simon Brien Set above the Killowen Old Road, just outside Rostrevor in Newry, Co Down , sits Clocgarran Hall . Occupying 3.5 acres (1.4 hectares), it spans a whopping 926sq m (10,000sq ft) and includes six bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and a range of amenities, including an indoor swimming pool and tennis court. Positioned to take advantage of its surroundings, with views over Carlingford Lough and the Slieve Foy mountains, its design incorporates large south-facing windows, allowing for lots of natural light and access to the outdoors. Its grounds include terraced lawns, framed by topiary evergreens that are laden with swathes of pinks from rhododendrons, a walled garden and an orchard providing autumnal bounties of apples and pears. Inside, the layout – constructed over three decades – includes a Mark Wilkinson kitchen complete with high-end appliances, a cinema room with a wall-mounted screen and projector and a gym and music room in addition to the more formal reception rooms. These include interconnecting dining and drawingrooms which open out to a south-facing terrace through a set of French doors and a less formal living and diningroom located just off the kitchen.

Bradley NI in Newry is now the first business to become a franchisee under Simon Brien's new franchise model. Simon Brien, which has five branches around Belfast and Co Down, was acquired by Sherry FitzGerald Group in the Republic of Ireland last year. The acquisition of Bradley NI, which is led by chartered surveyor and managing director Garrett O'Hare, now adds locations in Newry, Warrenpoint and Newcastle to the wider Simon Brien business. Sherry FitzGerald said the deal marked the 'next chapter' in its ambition to broaden its presence around Northern Ireland. Mr O'Hare said: 'We're incredibly proud to be the first franchisee of the Simon Brien brand. "This move allows us to retain our local knowledge and client relationships while benefiting from the marketing power, cutting-edge technology, and support of a respected all-island brand. "It's the perfect partnership to drive our next phase of growth.' Simon Brien, founder and managing director, added: 'Launching our franchise model is a significant milestone, and we're delighted to welcome Garrett and the team at Bradley NI. "Their integrity, ambition, and deep understanding of their markets make them the ideal first franchise partner. "This expansion is just the beginning as we look to bring the Simon Brien service to even more clients across Northern Ireland.' News Catch Up - Wednesday 21 May Sherry FitzGerald is the Republic of Ireland's largest estate agency, with 110 offices, 73 of which are franchised.
