Hard to match thatch, especially in Burren and Ballyvaughan beauty spot

Setting near Black Head and Ballyvaughan makes this Wild Atlantic Way thatch special, says Tommy Barker.

Well, it’s certainly got the cute factor, plus a great Co Clare location near Ballyvaughan and Burren and the beach at Fanore - but, the price guide on this diminutive thatch is a hefty enough, 21st century sum of €198,000.

Listed with Sherry FitzGerald McMahon is this picture-postcard photo opportunity for any passing motorists along this tourist-favoured route a few miles west of Ballyvaughan on the coastal road towards Doolin and the Black Head. This is Wild Atlantic Way territory, facing across Galway Bay toward Furbo, Barna and Spiddal, along the scenic R477, with the karst limestone Gleninagh Mountain rising up behind it.
