Under the Thatch

this early C19 hearth was having a bad time…covered in cement and gypsum plaster that made it damp, filled in with concrete blocks, and with a range so full of water that it fell apart in our hands. We removed the 1980s ceilings, replaced and insulated the dry-lining and lime-pointed up the hearth wall.
It isn’t finished yet….but it is getting there!

It sits next to www.underthethatch.co.uk/azul and has the most amazing views. See the patio photo!

We’re just waiting for the grass to grow and lanscapibg to be complete to launch lakeside Luna…the shepherd’s hut we designed and had built. She sits by her own pool in Donegal. To see our existing Donegal cottage www.underthethatch.co.uk/croagh

We will have this shorefront cottage ready for summer. Today started tiling the floor and limewashing the restored gable as well as doing external window reveals. To stay in our existing Donegal cottage see www.underthethatch.co.uk/croagh

We’re renovating this former derelict cottage by the shore. Today limewashing the restored hearth…grouting the new bathroom and restoring the Mid C20 Style render and dash around the new windows.

Smart new cushions to complete the refurb at the carriage earlier this year 🙂 Couldn’t resist adding a landscape pic or two today as the walk to the carriage was spectacular in the sunshine!

They’ve been left to rot…but we’d gladly rescue them! Stay nearby at www.underthethatch.co.uk/croagh

Today we’re lime flush pointing the hearth wall at Miki’s cottage. This poor wall had been lost under cement and gypsum and blockwork for half a century.

Our contemporary shorefront newbuild is slowly…slowly…nearing completion! Near www.underthethatch.co.uk/croagh
