A well-maintained and substantial collection of outbuildings and stables associated with Barrettstown House (15403540). This complex retains much of its early form and fabric. Although these buildings are functional in nature they also display a high level of architectural finishing and design. This complex of outbuildings, including the former walled garden to the southwest, forms part of an interesting group of structures associated with Barrettstown House and provides an interesting historical insight into the extensive resources required to maintain a middle-sized house in Ireland during the late nineteenth-century.
