Traditional 300-year-old thatched cottage goes on sale in rural Ireland

A PRIVATE cottage in a quiet cul-de-sac outside a quaint countryside village.

If you think that sounds like heave, then take a look at this little godsend of a property in Cappoquin, Co. Waterford.

The Old Farmhouse has been around for over 300 years, but was renovated in 2014 to keep it in line with modern standards of comfort.

Handmade cupboards give character to the kitchen, while the magnificent thatched roof was professionally re-thatched recently.

The cottage was originally constructed with wide stone walls which are now dry lined and insulated with upgraded double-glazed sash windows.

Sitting on a 0.5 acre site, there’s also an outhouse that could be renovated for storage or entertainment, as well as its own fruit and vegetable patch for sustainable living.

The property is within walking distance to the town of Cappoquin with the River Blackwater, well known for its excellent Salmon and Trout fishing, flowing through.

Just four kilometres down the road is the beautiful heritage town of Lismore, which boasts Lismore Castle among its historical charms.
