This delightful, quaint and very charming traditional 3 bedroom cottage occupies an elevated 0.7 acre site in the lower Mournes close to Trassey Valley outside Bryansford and close to Newcastle. It is packed full of original features such as granite windowsills and lintels, stable style doors, internal timber ledge style doors with metal latches, stone fireplaces and farmhouse rough cast plaster. All these traditional features are set against a very modern functionality such as a modern kitchen, modern bathrooms, under floor heating via a wood pellet boiler, a pressurized water system and solar panels for heating water all making this property a real “one off” for those who are interested in traditional Mournes style living with a modern twist. Access to No. 141 is via a short stone laneway from the main road and this takes one though double entrance gates to the front apron for parking and turning. The gardens are sloped and stepped with numerous stone steps and pathways where magnificent views can be enjoyed across the surrounding countryside. Also included is a sizeable timber shed, a fully functioning green house, a stone outhouse which houses the wood pellet boiler and plenty of open space to grow vegetables or perhaps keep bees. The property also boasts a converted barn which could be used as flexible work from home office or studio space or alternatively could be used as holiday accommodation (subject to consents).
