Strand Road, Annagassan, Dunleer, Contea DI Louth

Set on a generous 0.47 acre / 0.19 hectare site directly on Strand Road in Annagassan, this three-bedroom bungalow occupies one of the more quietly coveted positions in the very popular area. The sea is not merely a backdrop here — it is a constant presence, with full open-water views from the property and direct access to the beach just steps away. Whether you are drawn by the prospect of morning sea swims, long walks along the shoreline, or simply the pace of life that comes with a coastal village, this is a home that delivers on all of those things without compromise.

Extending to 850 sq ft / 79 sq m, the accommodation is well considered and easy to manage — an important quality for those looking to simplify without sacrificing comfort or setting. The layout flows from an entrance hall into a bright living room and a kitchen and dining room, all orientated to make the most of the outlook. Three bedrooms are served by both a shower room and a separate bathroom, providing day-to-day practicality. The current owners have received full planning permission to extend and modernise the home and further details can provided by the agent upon request.

The wider setting brings its own appeal. The Cooley Mountains and Mourne range frame the horizon to the north and east, adding a layer of drama to views that already take in open water. Salterstown Pier, a popular spot for sea swimming and walking, is close at hand, and the unhurried rhythm of village life in Annagassan — good coffee, a proper restaurant, familiar faces — is something that is genuinely difficult to replicate elsewhere. For those who have spent years in busier surroundings, this is the kind of place that tends to feel immediately right.

Annagassan is a small coastal village in County Louth, sitting roughly equidistant between Drogheda to the south and Dundalk to the north — both towns offering a full range of retail, dining, healthcare, and rail services.

The M1 motorway is accessible within a short drive, placing Dublin city centre and Dublin Airport within comfortable reach for those commuting occasionally or travelling further afield.

Locally, Salterstown Pier is one of the area’s most popular amenities — a well-established sea swimming spot with a loyal year-round following.

The village itself has a genuine sense of community, with coffee shops and a restaurant that draw visitors from the surrounding area. The countryside immediately inland is open and largely agricultural, with the Cooley Peninsula offering walking trails and landscapes that are among the most distinct in the north-east of Ireland.

For a buyer looking to step back from city pace without stepping away from connectivity, Annagassan makes a persuasive case.
