The Cottage, High Road, Mornington, Co. Meath, A92X2X4

Architectural harmony on the River Boyne A rare and refined offering, The Cottage presents a masterclass in architectural renewal- an original c.1890 stone-cut fisherman' s cottage, sensitively restored and extended to embrace contemporary living. Set on a south-facing plot overlooking the River Boyne estuary, this home combines heritage charm with modern sustainability, using locally sourced natural materials throughout. The extension is deliberately understated, allowing the authentic stonework and traditional proportions to remain the architectural focus. Inside, sandstone flooring flows through the living spaces, warmed by underfloor, oil-fired heating. A Clearview stove anchors the principal reception room, while the handmade kitchen by Joey Lawlor - featuring a Stanley range and bespoke cabinetry - opens directly to the garden, ideal for relaxed dining and entertaining. Accommodation is flexible and thoughtfully zoned: three to four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a principal suite with walk-in dressing room and ensuite. Two further bedrooms feature walk-in wet rooms, while a fourth room offers versatility as a study, snug or additional bedroom. Glazing is positioned to frame the estuary' s ever-changing light, creating a tranquil and connected living environment. A full layout of the accommodation is available on the adjoining floorplans. Gardens & Exterior The grounds have been thoughtfully designed, offering a sense of wilderness with the benefit of low-maintenance care and generous outdoor living spaces. Two patio terraces offer distinct settings for al fresco dining, while winding paths lead through curly hazels, mature shrubs, and fruit trees including apple, plum and fig. The open gravel driveway provides generous off-street parking for multiple vehicles. Positioned to maximise its elevated outlook, the property enjoys uninterrupted views across the River Boyne estuary.

This tranquil stretch of estuary is part of a designated EU Special Protection Area, renowned for its rich biodiversity and dynamic natural beauty. Mornington itself is a charming coastal enclave, known for its quiet beaches, scenic walks and close proximity to the historic town of Drogheda. The area blends rural calm with urban convenience, offering a range of local amenities including cafes, schools, and shops, while the nearby seaside villages of Bettystown and Laytown provide further leisure and lifestyle options.
