Carnlough Project progression

Our Carnlough Project has started on site & is progressing well

front elevation of our Carnlough Project facing towards Carnlough Bay

Conversion from first floor flat & ground floor retail space to a new home for our client.

Carnlough Project – This is a redesign of the front with the shop front removed and replaced with two windows and two windows added upstairs.

Upstairs being converted from a 2 bedroom apartment to a living room and kitchen/larder/dining room with a new bathroom and a snug/5th bedroom

the view from the upper living area out to Carnlough Bay

Carnlough has a long history dating back almost 400 years when it had its first harbour, most of it was owned by the Marchioness of Londonderry, Winston Churchill’s Great Grandmother, who built the current harbour and also built Garron Tower in the mid-1800s and early 1900s.

Ownership of the area over the centuries has passed through many hands from Sorley Boy MacDonnell (1500s).
Much to the surprise of our client, when his solicitor sent a copy of the deeds he found the house had previously been owned by Sir Winston Churchill from 1921-47.

It had been left to him along with most of Carnlough by his second cousin who died in an accident.

Churchill then transferred most of the houses to a company owned by the Earl of Antrim in 1947, it is thought he may have visited the village during his ownership on a visit to Northern Ireland.

The Londonderry Arms Hotel has a painting of Churchill and a room named after him.
