The House With The Yellow Windows - Chapter 1 - The Warehouse

Re - adapting an Old Farm Shed

Having had to move our warehousing 3 times in seven years, and with rising costs across the board crippling small independent business’s – we were acutely aware, to secure our long term future we had to find a better solution and so, we couldn’t believe our luck when we stumbled across this place  back in late 2023.  

Only now are we beginning to catch our breadth & so can start sharing the story of what we have done to date, what we are working on now, & what we hope to do in the future. 

The fact that this place qualified for the Croi Coiltte Grant & we would be doing a lot of the hard graft ourselves made it a realistic possibility & too good an opportunity to at the very least try for.

To be honest, we really didn't think we had a chance, but somehow with the help of the Croi Coiltte Grant for Vacant homes, and a lot of hard work & challenging days, we have managed to make it this far!

The Sheds as they stood, though in great nick, were not suitable for our own storage needs.

Supposedly constructed for the farmer by the local coco as compensation for encroaching on his land during the main road expansion in the late 70's/early 80's...
