Nedeen or Nedeen Villa, Coleraine and Miss Agnes McCulloch

[warbler]

Can anyone tell me anything more about Nedeen? Is it/was it a place or a home or a district?
I have seen reference to Nedeen in a death announcement from December 1897 for Mary Crosbie McCulloch (or M'Culloch) and then again in a notice of a Furniture Sale at Nedeen Villa in 1914 on behalf of Miss Agnes McCulloch.
I think Agnes was a teacher, later Principal of Coleraine Girls (?), and would have been coming up to retirement in 1914.
Thanks

Nedeen Villa sounds like the name of a house.

What does the death announcement say exactly regarding Nedeen?

Is this the house? I've also seen it spelt Nedeen in this archive

I'm certain somewhere (perhaps not on Rootschat) someone was asking about this house, possibly in relation to Sam Henry who lived there from at least 1915.

Coleraine Girls' High School was, until recently, on Lodge Road in Coleraine and Nedeen isn't far away.

This reference gives the house number-
Allison Sarah Helena Wardlow of Nedeen 47 Lodge Road Coleraine county Londonderry widow died 2 August 1957 Probate Belfast 30 October to Lillian Daphne Rosalind Allison spinster. Effects Ł7145 18s. 9d.

Will see if I can find better photo of house.

This memorial refers to it as parcel of land situate on the South West side of Lodge Road.
Number 147

Here's a brief history of the school but Miss McCulloch not mentioned.

1900/1915 newspaper articles mention a Miss M'Culloch of the Irish Society Girls' School which isn't far from Lodge Road-

A number of years ago it was made into residential units which retained most of the exterior character.

This looks like the daughter at 1911. She was a teacher

In 1901 Agnes McCulloch is in Waverley Terrace (which is on Bushmills Road), Coleraine (transcribed as McCullock but her writing is difficult to decipher)- age 41 but 10 years later she's only aged 8 years-

Nedeen was earlier known as Salisbury Coyle and built by Charles Coyle.

Thank you so much for all those replies, which have helped fill in that section of family history for me. The original death announcement, from the Belfast Newsletter of 7 December 1897 read 'M'CULLOCH - December 6, at Nedeen, Coleraine, Mary Crosbie, widow of the late William M'Culloch, Bangor, County Down, formerly of Dalmellington Ayrshire. Funeral private. No flowers'
William died in Bangor in 1883, and was indeed a builder, but no trace of Mary, until now. Obviously she moved to Coleraine because Agnes was there, which I didn't know.
Now the dots are all joining up. It looks as though Agnes retired around 1915 (she would have been 60), had a furniture sale in June 1914 at Nedeen, and at some point moved to join her sister in Dorking, Surrey, and died at Hove, Sussex in May 1936 - and I've now found a death announcement in the Belfast Newsletter of 21 May 1936 which confirms that she was 'formerly for many years Headmistress of the Irish Society's Girls' School, Coleraine'
So thanks for all your responses and links. Much appreciated.
