Liffock House
Hezlett House — listed here as Liffock House — is one of the oldest surviving thatched cottages in Northern Ireland, its low whitewashed walls and swept roof standing much as they have since the seventeenth century. The interior preserves original timber cruck framing, a building technique rare enough to make a visit genuinely special for anyone interested in vernacular architecture. Set in the quiet countryside of County Londonderry near Castlerock, it carries the simple, unhurried atmosphere of a much earlier Ulster.
- One of Ulster's oldest thatched cottages
- Rare cruck-frame timber construction
- Serene rural County Londonderry setting
Best for those curious about everyday life in early modern Ireland and vernacular building craft.
