Hezlett House (NT) - Castlerock

Guided tours; dogs allowed on leads in garden only. Disabled access to the ground floor only.

A 17th century single-storey thatched cottage dating from around 1691 when it was probably built as a parsonage for the rector of Dunboe.
In 1761 the house was taken over by a Presbyterian farmer, Isaac Hezlett, whose family continued to live here there until 1976.

There is an interesting cruck truss roof construction. The house is furnished in late Victorian style. There is a small museum of farm implements.
