Ravenwood delivers on all fronts, arriving to the market at a time when properties of this calibre are in short supply

For a home to inspire instant awe, a number of key elements must align:
• a location that balances space, privacy, and convenience
• a home that wants for nothing in finish or accommodation
• interiors that impress in both design and presentation
• and, of course, striking good looks

Designed with a nod to the American emphasis on light and space, this B-rated residence extends to c. 415sq m over two floors. On arrival, attention is divided between the house itself handsome in red brick with elegant proportions—and the panoramic coastal views stretching across North Louth and into South Down. Mature, carefully curated landscaping and an impressive collection of trees further enhance the setting. The home is perfectly oriented to maximise these views. A bright, welcoming entrance hall, framed by a curved wall of floor-to-ceiling glazing, sets the tone.

The triple-aspect living room is both refined and inviting, featuring an inlaid timber floor and marble fireplace. Living spaces flow effortlessly, from the main hallway to a study, formal dining room (comfortably seating up to ten) and a light-filled wraparound family room designed to fully embrace the surrounding landscape.

The kitchen, opening from the family room is standout, finished in rich cherrywood, with a substantial granite island ideal for both entertaining and everyday use, complemented by a range cooker and a feature red brick wall housing the double-sided stove. Five bedrooms provide generous accommodation, including a ground-floor bedroom with en suite—ideal for guests or future-proofed living. A large double garage with overhead storage adds further practicality.

Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged around a bright galleried landing, two with walk in fitted wardrobes. The principal suite is particularly impressive, with a bay window perfectly framing distant sea and mountain views. A spacious en suite completes the space. Externally, a south-east to south-west facing recently fitted deck creates a sheltered and sun- filled setting for outdoor dining. A more intimate seating area to the front offers a perfect spot for morning coffee while taking in the view.

In all, Ravenwood is a home of rare quality—combining scale, setting, and specification in a way few properties can match.
