The exterior (taken at 3:00 p.m. in April) is all stone:
The foyer has a slate floor; the stairs were carpeted in 2009:
To the right of the foyer is the living-dining area. There is seating for 7 in the living area and seating for 8 in the dining area. The furniture is very comfortable and the coffee table is large enough for all the maps and books you may want to reference.
The living room:
The dining room with seating for 8:
The fireplace, visible from both the living and dining rooms:
Off the living-dining area is a large PATIO with a picnic table that will seat 8. The house is surrounded by pastures and there are sheep grazing there almost every day. Most of the pictures below were taken while standing on the patio.
The patio (taken in April):
The living-dining area has TWO HUGE PICTURE WINDOWS LOOKING OUT ON SYBIL HEAD AND THE THREE SISTERS! This is the cottage’s most unique and enviable feature.
The SPECTACULAR view from the living dining area:

November’s FABULOUS winter storm!
Location of the house cottage with respect to the coastline:
The kitchen is very big and modern with a FULL SIZE refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher and is well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, knives, cutting boards, bowls, dishes, glasses, silverware, and linens. There is a 12-cup electric coffee machine, an electric kettle, and a toaster.
The kitchen is huge with full size appliances:
The kitchen is open into the dining room and has a door into the foyer (great for carrying in groceries):
The powder room, to the left of the front door:
There are FOUR (4) BEDROOMS and they ALL HAVE AN ATTACHED (en-suite) BATH with a toilet, sink, shower and a heated towel bar (with several big, soft, thirsty towels)! One of the larger bedrooms is on the ground floor which is nice if you have trouble with stairs.
The master bedroom, upstairs, has a QUEEN bed with a very comfortable mattress, a spectacular view of the coastline, and a large sitting area. The bedroom on the ground floor also has a QUEEN size bed; the third bedroom, upstairs, has a DOUBLE bed; and the forth, also upstairs, has TWO TWIN beds.
The water pressure in the showers is nice and strong.

(Imagine what this looks like in the summer and fall, when everything is green!):
The school house across the street (as seen from the parking area):
The back yard and pathway to the utility room:
In the utility room, under the patio, are a full size washer and dryer.
The laundry (utility) room, below the patio:
There is yet ANOTHER yard behind the house, and a door to it from the dining room. The parking area extends around the side of the house (along the road) all the way to this back yard. In the field beyond this yard you can see a shepherd is using a dog to move his sheep from one pasture to another.
The photos below were taken in
OCTOBER of 2009.

The road south to Clogher Head:
The fields behind the cottage where sheep are normally grazing.
There are no sheep there in this photo because they had been
herded into the shed, another treat for you, if you happen to be
looking out when they are moved from one field to the other:
