Peggy's Cottage Chapel Hill, Carlingford, Carlingford, Co. Louth, A91K448

It takes an unusual property to stop me in my tracks and Peggy’s Cottage in Carlingford has achieved just that! And why? Because it strikes a gorgeous balance between comfort, quaint and, of course, Carlingford! This is a detached home that presents to market in perfect condition and with so many lovely features: there’s its quintessential Irish house charm, then there’s the sweet shabby-chic interior with its panelling, it’s instant Instagram attraction (and yet with modern essentials factored in), and of course there’s the Carlingford factor: being located within the heart of a wonderful community that sits within a beautiful world of coast, mountain and fireside fun. So, yes, Peggy’s Cottage caught my eye and it will catch yours too! Situated just off the main village area, the property is at the foot of one of the popular hill walking routes at the foot of Slieve Foye, beside the Church, it’s within ambling distance of the shops, bars, national school and general amenities of the village, but in a quiet location. In fact, it gives the impression of being dropped into the perfect quiet spot. It has plenty off street parking (at least 2 spaces) and has just the right amount of outdoor space without requiring garden attention – that is to say, it’s low maintenance, so anyone seeking a weekend retreat or with an eye to pot planting will like this. Inside, the storm porch leads into the very quaint kitchen with island. Important features like clever use of space and oak worktop make this space work very well. The coziest of living rooms is to the left, with wood panelling and a free standing wood fired stove. At the opposite end of the kitchen is the bathroom with modern finish. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms. Both are doubles and both are impressive in the spaced they allow, as well as in the space saving solutions such as built in storage. Outside, the house enjoys a surprising degree of privacy, and a clever raised terrace offers the perfect morning coffee spot! Viewing of this pure charm of a home should get in touch to arrange a viewing…. But don’t hang around, because Peggy’s Cottage certainly won’t!
