A rare opportunity to acquire a charming, highly convenient, modernised early 20th century semi-detached property in the heart of Newcastle. Enjoy the lifestyle benefits of the beach, promenade, shops, cafés, Slieve Donard Hotel and Royal County Down Golf Club all just moments away. Combining period character with considered design, thoughtful modernisation and a relaxed coastal setting, the property makes an equally appealing family home, weekend retreat or holiday property.
The property was thoughtfully extended and modernised in 2019, creating a comfortable and characterful home with a strong emphasis on light, space and considered design. The south-facing orientation bathes the front of the property in sunlight throughout the day, with outstanding view of Slieve Donard. A bright entrance porch leads into a long central hallway, where a thoughtfully positioned skylight and glazed partition bring in natural light down from the attic level. The main living accommodation spans the full depth of the house, with an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space providing a generous setting for everyday family life and entertaining. A bay window to the front offering views of Slieve Donard, a vast skylight fills the kitchen area with natural light, complemented by a distinctive porthole- style window, solid oak flooring and original, reclaimed schoolhouse radiators.
Three individually decorated bedrooms on the ground floor, alongside a beautifully finished bathroom with microcement walls and floors, wet room style shower, built-in storage and electric underfloor heating. Upstairs, the attic conversion provides a particularly cosy fourth bedroom with its own ensuite shower room, skylights to the front, rear and side creating a bright and airy space. The elevated position provides views towards the Irish sea and Mourne mountains.
This property boosts modern insulation, double glazing, solid insulated concrete screed floors, and unvented pressurized water system and Envirovent ventilation. Carefully considered details including oak flooring, reclaimed radiators add to the home’s individual character and contemporary comfort. Outside, the private front garden is enclosed by established Portuguese laurel hedging, while a composite double-glazed rear door opens onto a secluded alleyway. The property has previously operated successfully as a self-catering home, welcoming returning guests including professional golfers for the Irish Open.
