Plans to restore 19th Century thatched cottage with Liffey in back garden

Plans have been lodge to restore a thatched two-bedroom cottage on the banks of the River Liffey near Caragh.

An application has been submitted for the refurbishment and upgrading of the 77-square-metre protected structure which dates back to the 1800s.

The River Liffey runs at the rear of the attractive bungalow which is also close to the well-known Victoria Bridge landmark.

The designs include the construction of new single storey extension to the rear and glazed link following demolition of existing single-storey kitchen extension.

The existing single storey storage space at the side of the house will be converted to living accommodation.

Also proposed is the construction of new detached garage and upgrading of the entrance and re-positioning of a disused An Post letter box on the front pier.
