About Stoneleigh Cottage

Stoneleigh Cottage is a fully modernised cottage situated in the quiet, picturesque village of Bryansford on the outskirts of Newcastle. The cottage has unparalleled views of the Mountains of Mourne sweeping down to the sea and is on the boundary of Tollymore Forest Park. Stoneleigh Cottage was built as part of a terrace of stone cottages circa 1830 and originally formed part of Lord Roden’s Tollymore Estate. It is now a grade B2 listed building.

The cottage has recently been fully renovated and modernised. Despite the addition of full central heating and hot water, together with other improvements, every effort has been made to retain its historical charm. The lounge has the original stonewalls and Mourne granite fireplace still on view. There is a colour TV, CD/Video player and music centre.



There is a dining room to the rear with the French doors opening on to a terrace, which affords breathtaking views of the Mountains of Mourne. Slieve Donard towers majestically in the background. There are also panoramic views of the Bay of Dundrum and on a clear day the Isle of Man is clearly visible.

The kitchen is fully equipped and appliances include a washing machine, electric hob, oven, fridge freezer, microwave and dishwasher. The original Belfast sink has been retained. Next to the kitchen is a downstairs shower room and toilet.


The final room on the ground floor is the master bedroom, again with some of the original stonework visible. There is a large double bed and en suite shower and toilet.

From the kitchen the original stairs lead to the upper floor and first bedroom. Twin beds nestle under the eaves of the roof. There is an en suite toilet. Through this bedroom is the second bedroom. This also has twin beds and the ceiling is again contoured to the eaves of the roof.

Both bedrooms have the original dormer windows at the front, while the rear windows have been enlarged to obtain the full benefit of the stunning views.

The whole cottage exudes an aura of peace, tranquillity and quiet charm guaranteed to relax even the most stressed of minds.
