Riunioni Allegre

Merry Meetings is an impressive detached residence occupying an elevated position on Mountain Park Road, enjoying outstanding views across Carlingford Lough, the surrounding coastline and the dramatic mountain landscape beyond. Built in 2004 and maintained to a high standard, this is a substantial and beautifully positioned home combining generous accommodation, excellent natural light and a highly desirable setting within walking distance of the historic village of Carlingford.

From the outset, the property creates a strong impression. A private driveway with carport provides plenty parking, while the house itself sits confidently within its site, making the most of its privileged aspect. The elevated position is one of the home’s defining features, with the views providing a constant and ever-changing backdrop throughout the principal living spaces and from the extensive decked terrace.

Internally, the accommodation is arranged to maximise light and outlook. The main living areas are positioned on the upper level, allowing the property to take full advantage of its exceptional setting. This reverse-style layout gives the home a wonderful sense of openness and privacy, with the principal reception areas enjoying views over the rooftops towards the lough and as far as the eye can see.

The kitchen and dining area form a bright and practical central space, with extensive fitted cabinetry, generous worktop space and direct access to the large decked terrace. This outdoor area is a natural extension of the living accommodation and provides a wonderful place for morning coffee, evening drinks or relaxed entertaining, all while taking in the coastal scenery. The adjoining dining space offers excellent proportions, while the layout flows comfortably through to the main living room.

The living room is a particularly attractive space, enhanced by polished timber flooring, a feature stone fireplace and striking windows that frame the surrounding greenery. The room has a warm and inviting atmosphere, balancing comfort with a strong sense of place. The views, natural light and generous scale make this one of the standout areas of the home.

Merry Meetings offers four bedrooms, each with ensuite facilities, providing excellent flexibility for family living, visiting guests or those seeking a comfortable coastal retreat. The bedroom accommodation is well proportioned throughout, with a calm and private feel. In addition to the bedrooms, the property includes a separate office, utility room and guest WC, making it well suited to modern day living and remote working.

The home has been designed with practicality in mind, with oil-fired central heating, double glazed windows, mains water and mains sewerage. A C1 BER rating further supports the property’s appeal as a comfortable full-time residence or high-quality second home. Recent improvements include new decking, enhancing the usability and presentation of the outdoor living space.

Externally, the gardens are laid mainly in lawn with mature boundary hedging and a garden shed. The outdoor areas offer scope for further landscaping if desired, while already providing a peaceful and private setting from which to enjoy the property’s elevated position. The terrace remains the main outdoor focal point, capturing the very best of the outlook across Carlingford Lough.

This is a home of real character and presence, offering generous accommodation, a strong coastal identity and one of the most sought-after settings in Carlingford. With its elevated position, superb views, flexible layout and turnkey presentation, Merry Meetings represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a distinctive home in a truly special location.
