Located in Ballagh outside, Menlough, in County Galway, this two-bedroom, 45-square-meter cottage has been brought to the market by Pat Callanan Property Sales.
"Known locally as the Thatch, this charming cottage offers real development potential to someone that would seek to restore it to its former glory," the listing states.
"Of a standard layout and in need of works, this property could be redeveloped for any number of purposes whilst retaining its rustic, days gone by charm."
The property comprised of four rooms including a living room with a solid fuel stove and two bedrooms. The property has PVC windows and an extension to the rear with galvanized sheet roof. There are a number of out-offices and sheds.
The Kitchen, including a stove.
There's something so special about a thatched roof also. As durable as they are environmentally friendly, Irish thatched cottages are the products of centuries of history and tradition. While they currently make up a minuscule percent of the total housing stock in Ireland, in the 1800s, as much as half of the population slept under thatched roofs.
The out buildings.
