A three year restoration project was undertaken by myself, Chris Murphy to restore this beautiful cottage. The last person to live there died in 1859! And the house lay derelict until 1970 when it was converted into a cattle quarantine centre for cattle being exported all over the world from Ireland! Then in 2022 I bought the house and saved it from demolition as it was for sale as a building site. Instead of allowing someone to destroy this beautiful property, I restored it back to its former glory! The name Jackdaw Cottage was given to the house by my neighbour, when I was restoring the property at the beginning I was bombarded by jackdaw birds trying to nest inside the house and chimneys which they had been doing for generations. The birds saw it as their house, not mine! So rather than fight them I built little nesting holes in the walls of the house and they nest there now instead, the name Jackdaw Cottage was to simply acknowledge them! A huge amount of late nights, dedication and hard work went into this restoration but all worth it to bring this cottage back to life and welcome guests from all over the world! NI tourism board certified!
