Thatch the way I like it

This cottage has a quarter acre garden.

A PRETTY thatched cottage in Athy, Co Kildare, is perfect for the first-time buyer, or even downsizer market at €225,000.

The white-washed, red-doored cottage at Ballynan is in great conditions, says Edele Fitzpatrick of Sherry FitzGerald McDermott and has a lovely, quarter acre garden at the rear. The property comes with two bedrooms, a large living/dining room, kitchen and back porch.
