Clonshavoy, house in County Limerick

What is recorded here

Clonshavoy calls itself a cottage, then sends up tall, angled chimneys, some in pairs. That’s a cottage the way an uncle’s ‘few words’ is a short speech: he’s brought a second page and taken off his jacket.

Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c. 1810, in a cottage style, incorporating considerable fabric from the eighteenth century. Pitched slate roof with gabled fronted projections. Casement windows with stone surrounds. Projecting porch. Tall chimneystacks set an an angle with some paired. Outbuildings to rear.

Clonshavoy House is an important house architecturally within County Limerick. The style chosen for this former Barrington family residence is significant. The cottage style was not often employed in houses in County Limerick and its survival is of architectural importance.
