What else could I get for... the €1.1 million pricetag on this 'gothic fairy-tale fantasy' in Co Down

We take a look at what €1.1 million would get you around the rest of the country.

THIS PROPERTY IN Co Down was once described by Changing Rooms’ very own Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen as a “gothic fairy-tale fantasy”.

Located in Co Down, ‘Heathfield Hall‘ started its life as the Cluntagh Schoolhouse and has been updated and restored over the past two decades. In 2011 it was featured in the BBC House of the Year awards show.
