Expect the unexpected from Kildimo, Limerick

Lift the latch and individuality comes jumping out at you in this rustic cottage, says Trish Dromey. 

Many of the most interesting properties are ones to which owners have made unexpected and unusual alternations, such as this cottage near Kildimo in west Limerick.

Looking at the pretty red and white exterior of this traditional property, a viewer will be expecting it to have two or three rooms, possibly an open fire and some exposed timberwork and maybe some old-style latched doors.
