Hezlett House near Castlerock
Hezlett House near Castlerock
17th Century thatched cottage located at the junction of Sea Road and the A2 near Castlerock. The house was built as a recory in 1691 until 1776 when it was purchased by a Isaac Hezlett as his family home. The house remained in the ownership of the Hezlett family for 200 years until purchased by the National Trust. Highly unusual in ireland, the house has no foundations but is supported by a cruck frame which was constructed using ancient bog oak. The house is simply furnished in late Victorian style and there is also a small museum of farm implements surrounding the property. Open daily (at least during the summer months) - fee payable to the National Trust which also gains you entry to the nearby Downhill demesne.
