The house's possible family.

Only a historian could list the families that have lived over the past 200 years or so on this farm property. One verified  story from the 20th century was that during the Second World War, the farmhand Johnnie Morgan slept on straw in the loft of the Barn, reachable back then from a stairs leading to what is now the loft window.

Because of the large Barn study, the home suits a writer or anyone needing a separate professional office but it could also suit a variety of home businesses  from beauty to design.

The cottage adds an intriguing dimension because it can be used as a workshop. One obvious use would be for working on boats as nearby Kilmore Quay is a leading sailing centre with a marina. The extensive yard and gardens have already been used to store boats. 

Several well-known stables and stud farms are close by as this is also horse country, including hunting and race horses.  The cottge could  be converted into stabling for horses, but stables could instead be added at the back of the large garden also where cowsheds used to be.
