Seestraße, Blackrock, Co. Louth

Sea View occupies an enviable position at the end of a terrace on Sea Road, directly facing The Priests Beach and open to an outlook that few homes along this coastline can rival. Across the road lies a well-regarded sea swimming location, and the Cooley Mountains form a compelling backdrop to the north-east. The home extends to 124.9 sq m, is available immediately, and carries the kind of unhurried character that comes with a well-kept, established property — with some original period features lending warmth and texture throughout.

At ground level, the accommodation flows from a generous kitchen and breakfast room through to a formal dining room that readily adapts to a home office or reading room, a comfortable sitting room, a utility room, and a guest WC. The layout is practical and well-proportioned, with each room serving a clear purpose without feeling contrived. A large landing or office area at upper level adds valuable flexible space, particularly suited to those working from home or in need of a quiet study.

All four bedrooms are positioned to benefit from sea views, a distinction that sets the property apart from comparable properties in the area. Waking to open water each morning is not a secondary benefit here — it is the defining quality of the home. A family bathroom serves the upper floor, and the overall condition of the accommodation means a new owner can settle in without delay, while still having scope to add their own mark over time.

Outside, a private rear garden offers a sunny and sheltered seating area, well away from passing traffic and not overlooked. Parking to the side of the house is a practical asset in a coastal village setting. The combination of outlook, orientation, village position, and ready availability makes Sea View a genuinely compelling prospect for those seeking a lifestyle change, a considered downsizer move, or a coastal base within realistic reach of Dublin and Belfast.

Sea Road is widely regarded as one of Blackrock’s most sought-after residential addresses, occupying a spectacular seafront setting overlooking Dundalk Bay with uninterrupted views across the water towards the Cooley and Mourne Mountains. The location perfectly balances the tranquillity of coastal living with the convenience of an excellent range of amenities within easy reach.

Blackrock is a thriving and welcoming seaside village renowned for its attractive promenade, strong community spirit and exceptional lifestyle offering.
