The space
It is unusual to find original solid granite properties in the centre of town and this property which dates back to 1921 is an exquisite example of the genre. During modernisation the granite walls were restored to their original condition both outside and also inside which gives the cottage a unique sense of quality and heritage. This type of construction is largely extinct today as the skills to undertake this quality and style are sadly lost. Granite is one of the hardest and heaviest materials used in construction anywhere in the world.

The detailing of hand carved granite quoins to the front walls and around windows etc. are a perfect example of the stonemason’s craft which are fast becoming lost.

Guests will also notice the lead detailing to the roofs which is another example of quality craftsmanship which are becoming less common. The dormers feature mini rose sculptures in lead reflecting the original cottage name of Roselea. The year of original construction 1921 and also the year of its restoration 2024 are also created in lead on the dormers.

The now fully restored cottage however benefits from the latest standards of energy conservation throughout which makes the cottage really cosy and easy to heat. Tall ceilings enhance the spacious feel internally which helps make the rooms bright and airy.

Once inside guests will appreciate the vaulted ceiling entrance hall with the oak detailed balcony above framed by the restored granite internal walls which creates a genuinely unique feel within the heart of the cottage.

The rooms within the cottage are bright and spacious. The living room is equipped with modern gas stove which creates a cosy feel while remaining clean and safe to use. The kitchen is separated from the living room by glazed french style doors which allow for a more open style of living if required.

The cottage is in one of the quietest areas of the town and the location is ideal whether you are golfing in royal County Down, trekking the Mournes, or simply enjoying the wonderful sandy beaches of Murlough Bay all of which are only a few minutes walk away.
