Bar View, Mountain Park, Carlingford, Carlingford, Co. Louth, A91H985

Stunning, inside and out... That's the only way to summarise this home, which is perched on the side of Slieve Foye, commanding breathtaking views across Carlingford Lough to the east and towards the peak of Slieve Foy to the west. The property's location along Mountain Park is idyllic: 15 minutes' walk (3 minutes by car) to the village – so a pleasant balance of village convenience and peaceful space. This property is a little bit deceptive… although it appears to be a traditional Irish country dwelling, it is, in fact, a home comprised of modern considerations and comforts, having been entirely refurbished and extended in early 1990's. Like the BER rating: its 'B' rating demonstrates that this is a building with efficiency on the nose. And there's the future proofing: two double bedrooms downstairs, adjacent to a full shower room. The house has a sort of eclectic chic meets Scandinavia feel, with its bright, country-style kitchen, beautiful oak floors, and plenty drinking in of those views, thanks to double and triple aspect design in some spaces. The living room runs toe full width of the house, and is incredibly comfortable and charming. At ground floor, the kitchen with gallery window onto the gorgeous bright patio is filled with light as well as being v practical - lots of storage and spaced for a large dining table - very original Irish country kitchen-appropriate! Adjacent is a full width living area with stove to one side and baby window to the other, permitting subtle zoning and heavenly views over the Lough and scene beyond. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms – a double and a single – and the main bathroom. The front bedrooms enjoy an easterly aspect, overlooking the Mourne Mountains. In truth, waking each morning will be a delight, with such a view! Downstairs, one of the bedrooms looks onto a sheltered morning-light small courtyard, while the other enjoys French door onto a south facing patio that's wrapped by a beautiful raised rockery. The main bathroom has inbuilt sauna - what a delicious bonus! Outside, the drive is gated, and the garden is carefully planted offering a ‘ready to enjoy' space, with lots of little seats and spots to linger and consider the immense beauty surrounding. Indeed, the rear of the garden has a fantastic elevation for drinking in every inch of Carlingford Lough and the peninsula. A small outdoor building is important for storage or for creating an external home office, and a watch point at the front corner of the garden makes the perfect potting station! All told, a well equipped home that will appeal to any buyer seeking that elusive stylish and private home in Carlingford.
