More detailed statistics show the top area for house sales in the first three months of this year was Botanic in Belfast with 182 in just three months, followed by Lurgan in the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon council with 175, and Titanic in Belfast with the same number.
With that in mind, we found this elegant detached family residence in Co Armagh that shows exactly why Lurgan is in the top three NI areas with the most properties sale agreed. 50 Kiln Road, Lurgan is set on a generous site with beautifully landscaped gardens and for sale with offers around £419,950, this house has it all!
Accessed via a private road servicing just two properties, you are immediately greeted with feature boundary walls and entrance pillars leading to the driveway which cuts through the stunning gardens down to the property. Once you step through the front door, the property simply oozes quality and is finished to an immaculate standard with prominent features and character throughout.
The property comprises a spacious open hallway, lounge with feature bay window and open fireplace, family room, luxury bespoke fitted kitchen with granite worktops just three year old, dining room with double doors to rear garden, utility room and downstairs guest WC.
On climbing the stairs to the bright landing area you are greeted by two double bedrooms both with feature slide robes, a modern family bathroom and a huge master bedroom with built in wardrobe and en-suite, this bedroom was originally two separate double bedrooms and this can be restored easily by erecting a stud wall.
The front garden offers a beautiful setting with large lawns, trees, flower beds and mature shrubs as well as a large driveway with ample parking leading to the detached garage with electric roller door and loft room over. The rear garden is a spacious fully enclosed and extremely well presented mix of granite paving stones, decking and pebbled areas.
The location offers excellent access to local amenities, schools and Lurgan town centre. For commuters the M1 motorway is a one minute drive away and for keen golfers Silverwood Golf Course is just across the road.
This property is being offered for sale by Marc Fegan Bespoke Estate Agents and Director, Marc Fegan, told Belfast Live that it's been a strong start to this year's property market in Lurgan and Craigavon: "The 2025 property market has opened with remarkable strength across the Lurgan and Craigavon areas.
"A significant number of new listings have come to market since the beginning of the year, with the majority going under offer within just a few weeks—reflecting the buoyant demand. This surge in activity is particularly encouraging, with a notable presence of first-time buyers driving momentum.
"High levels of enquiries, frequent viewings, and swift sales are creating a dynamic and fast-paced market environment. It’s an exciting time for both buyers and sellers, and the increased activity is certainly keeping local agents busy as we move further into the year."
