Thatch the way to do it

VIGO LODGE is an unusual property for a number of reasons, the most obvious being the roof — it’s thatched.

However, two storey 20th century properties don’t normally come with a straw topping so in a sense, this house is a rarity.

It sits on a lovely, mature site of a third of an acre on the perimeter of the Burren at Corofin. Set in Clare’s lakeland, Vigo Lodge has sweeping views of the countryside and lakes.
