Description
A charming two-bedroom coastal cottage set on an exceptional seafront site
Sea Lodge is a charming and highly distinctive two-bedroom coastal residence occupying a remarkable position along the unspoilt shoreline at Togher, Dunany. Originally constructed as a “picnic lodge” for a nearby estate, the property reflects a period when elegant seaside retreats were created as an escape from more formal country house living.
Today, Sea Lodge remains a unique coastal home, where the surrounding landscape defines the setting. The property enjoys stunning views across the Irish Sea towards the Cooley Peninsula, Carlingford Lough and the Mourne Mountains, with an ever-changing outlook shaped by light, season and tide.
The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, retaining a natural simplicity in keeping with its origins, while benefiting from excellent natural light throughout. The property is entered via an entrance hallway, which also provides a practical preparation area suited to coastal living, with space for outdoor and gardening equipment. A bathroom is located just off the hall and is fitted with a bath and overhead shower.
At the centre of the home lies a characterful sitting room, forming the focal point of the house, from which all principal rooms lead. This comfortable space features timber flooring and a solid fuel stove set within a fireplace surround, creating a warm and inviting core to the accommodation. A doorway leads through to a cosy front living room positioned to the front of the property, enjoying views towards the sea. This room features an electric stove set within an attractive fireplace surround, together with a window-side writing area, creating a warm and inviting space in which to relax.
To the opposite side of the sitting room lies the kitchen, which in turn opens into a bright conservatory/dining room. This light-filled space benefits from two sets of double patio doors opening directly onto the gardens, providing an excellent setting for dining and indoor-outdoor living. The bedroom accommodation within the main cottage comprises a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, which can be accessed from both the sitting room and the front living room, offering flexibility in the layout.
In addition to the main cottage, the property benefits from a separate one-bedroom guest house, comprising a bedroom, dressing room and en suite, providing excellent ancillary accommodation for guests or extended family.
Externally, the property is set within attractive and well-maintained gardens, with useful outbuildings including a garden shed and greenhouse. The grounds are a particular feature, enjoying privacy while extending towards the surrounding coastal landscape.
Sea Lodge is defined not only by its history, but by its exceptional setting. The ever-changing quality of light across the sea and surrounding mountains provides a constantly evolving outlook, while the grounds support a rich variety of birdlife and coastal flora. The immediate access to the shoreline, combined with uninterrupted views and natural surroundings, distinguishes the property as a rare coastal offering. Features
