CRAIGAVON, U.K. - Jan. 12, 2014 - PRLog -- Irish Thatched Cottages generally date back to around the 1700's and it is widely believed that the cottages evolved as advanced building techniques employed for the larger estate homes trickled down through the labourers cottage dwellings,The materials often used  would vary from region to region as they would be generally sourced within a 5 mile radius of the build. At the time the only method of transportation available to people was a donkey and cart or an ox. stone was predominantly used in the coastal and mountain areas where rocks where readily available and abundant whereas in the midlands construction materials used was muddy clay and even turf in the boggy areas so it was the case that the cottages literally grew from the landscape that surrounded them.The early cottages had no foundations with the floors often constructed of mud or clay,the fireplace or hearth was usually made from stone and was usuallay located in the center of the house for heating and cooking. Cottage roofs were constructed of coupled rafters, then stuffed with turf for insulation before being thatched with straw.The Irish Handcrafted Thatched Cottage can be viewed and purchased from http://www.lilyrosegifts.biz
