Mayo Cottage for Sale
A “charming” cottage has just hit the property market in Meelickmore, Claremorris, Co Mayo.
According to the selling agent, this is a “gorgeous” traditional Irish stone cottage in a “tranquil, pastoral” setting.
This cottage has what the agent described as “oodles of character” and is “very attractive” as you approach with its whitewashed walls and red galvanised roof.
Its accommodation, traditional in its layout, has three separate rooms, a living room in the centre of the house with two bedrooms on either end.
The open-plan living room in the centre of the house is completed by the ‘hag’. This is an add-on to the house which was used for sleeping and is adjacent to the fire.
The large open fire has a working ‘crane’ which holds pots that swing in and out of the open fire for cooking.
