History
Ely Lodge has a distinguished history, having served as the Ulster seat of the fifth Duke and Duchess of Westminster.
The property was also associated with the Loftus family of Loftus Hall and later played a role during the second world war as one of several Co Fermanagh sites used by the US Navy.
There are five cottages on the estate, as well as the seven-bedroom main house.
More recently, Ely Lodge was home to Lieutenant Colonel Robert Grosvenor, who became the fifth Duke of Westminster, and was the birthplace of Gerald Grosvenor, the sixth Duke of Westminster.
Today, the estate provides a rare opportunity to acquire one of Northern Ireland’s finest country houses, fully restored and offering exceptional privacy, natural beauty and heritage.
