GALLERY: There’s A Very Good Reason This Cottage Is In The Running For Home Of The Year

There's a lot more than meets the eye.

This 100-year-old cottage has a secret…

Behind its little purple door, it is not as quaint and small as it seems.

In fact, the Co. Clare home, spotted on the Irish Mirror, has been transformed and is now in the running for RTE’s Home of The Year, with a fighting chance.

Built in 1914, the house was in poor condition when it was bought by Emma Hogan, a children’s writer and illustrator, and Andrew Hersey, who runs a boutique garden centre.

Check out the interiors in the gallery above.
