In Carlingford village, this scheme comprises a mix of three-bed duplexes, townhouses and semi-detached homes. In a lovely setting, the development has views over Carlingford Lough, the Cooley Mountains and the Mourne Mountains.

A medieval town which is home to the ruins of St John's Castle, Carlingford is a popular tourist spot with plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants. The town looks across the lough to Warrenpoint and Newry, both a short drive away, while the new M1 motorway has also shortened the journey time to Dundalk and Dublin.

Designed by architects Newenham Mulligan & Associates, this is a contemporary scheme, although homes have been finished in traditional materials such as natural stone and cedar cladding.
