When you think of rural Ireland in days gone by and what the landscape would have looked like across the country.

Thatched cottages would have been a regular occurrence not just across this region but the entire country.

But with the pressures of an all mod cons society the number of thatched cottages has dwindled and they have become a rare sight in 2023.

One man in Derrynoose decided to build a new self build but this isn’t your normal self build, he built a new thatched cottage to recreate times gone by.

Sporting pops of green throughout, lavish high ceilings and even a few unexpected surprises, this home recreates the past while bringing in elements of the future.

Niall McGuire’s cottage located on the Derrynoose/Clontibret border featured on RTE’s popular show home of the year in recent week and our reporter Ronan Gargan has gone along to visit him at his unique Irish home.
