We explore the renovation of old stone farm buildings converted for modern use

It’s a stone village consisting of three houses, a dairy and a farmer’s cottage, originally built in the 1700s, but with later and necessary alterations to meet the needs of a working farm during the 19th century.

It might have fallen into complete disrepair, or even disappeared entirely, as so many old farmsteads have done since the Great Famine, but for the vision of architect Mark Guard and the Clochán;s then owner way back in 1998.
