What is recorded here
Clorane House in Clorane keeps its square windows facing politely ahead, except for one downstairs bay that leans out to get the whole story. That’s the aunt who never interferes but knows what time he left and whether he took the good suitcase.
Detached three-bay two-storey over basement house, built c. 1860, with projecting gable-fronted porch with pitched roof. Three-bay two-storey wing to side. Hipped roof with stone chimneystacks to main house with pitched roof to side wing. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with canted bay window to ground floor. Stable yard set around courtyard with stable boxes. Walled in kitchen garden.
Clorane House is a significant house within the architectural heritage of Limerick County. Its irregular fenestration adds interest to the house's main façade, while the outbuildings add context to the site.
