Situated on an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds overlooking Carlingford Lough and with stunning views of the Mourne mountains, this home is the ultimate rural retreat.

The property is as lovely as its surroundings. Spanning 195sq m (2,100sq ft) and with four bedrooms, this would make a fabulous family home for anyone seeking to escape from it all.

The focus of the sitting room is a wonderful picture ceiling-to-floor window overlooking the lough and a wellpositioned wooden deck outside making the most of the views. An exposed brick fireplace and recessed lighting make this a great room to relax in at any time of year.

The superb fitted kitchen with its cream and green hand-painted units, integrated appliances and Belfast sink has everything the modern chef will need. There is plenty of space for a large table, making this a wonderful entertaining area. French doors lead from here to a large decked terrace with more amazing vistas.

The master bedroom is large with French doors leading outside. The en-suite has an electric shower with tiled and wood-panelled walls.

There are three more bedrooms, each large enough for a double bed and with recessed lighting. The family bathroom has a bath and separate shower.

To the rear of the property is a large detached garage with WC and kitchen facility.

Outside there is also a children's log cabin, feature rockery and extensive decking.

Mariners Rest is close to Carlingford's marina, yacht club, Four Seasons hotel and is only a five-minute drive from Greenore Golf Course.
