About
Admiral House occupies a prominent position on Joymount, one of Carrickfergus' most historic streets, within approximately 100 yards of the town centre and the popular seafront promenade with its attractive coastal setting and views across Belfast Lough adding further to the appeal of this central location.
Dating back to the early 17th century, the history of Joymount is closely associated with Arthur Chichester and the grand mansion which once stood in this part of the town.
Today, the area remains an important part of Carrickfergus' historic centre, with Admiral House enjoying a prime location convenient to local amenities, transport links and the main routes towards Belfast.
Extending to approximately 2,500 sq ft, this substantial period property has been used predominantly as commercial offices in recent years, although its size, character and location offer considerable scope for a variety of alternative uses.
Much of the building's original character has been retained, including sash windows, stained glass, high skirting boards, original internal doors and decorative cornicing, features which add to its appeal and would be difficult to replicate in a modern building.
For a business seeking a distinctive headquarters in the centre of Carrickfergus, Admiral House presents an interesting opportunity, while its accommodation could equally lend itself to a boutique hotel, smaller residential care facility or a return to residential use, potentially including conversion into apartments, subject to the necessary planning and statutory approvals.
Properties of this size and character, particularly in such a central and historically significant location, rarely become available.
Whether retained for commercial purposes or considered for an alternative use, Admiral House offers considerable potential for the right purchaser, and viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the building and the opportunities it presents.
