Coolard, house in County Kerry

What is recorded here

Coolard in Knockenagh South may be ruinous, but its single great stone gatepost still looks capable of refusing you entry. The house has fallen on hard times; the doorman hasn't been told.

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1840, with single-bay two-storey return to north-west having two-bay two-storey lean-to lower bay to south-west. Now ruinous. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, overhanging eaves, timber brackets and red brick chimneystack. Rendered rubble stone walls. Round-headed door opening with fanlight to centre. Bipartite window openings with limestone sills, red brick flat arches, timber sliding sash windows with margin lights and timber casement windows. Attached two-bay single-storey rubble stone-built outbuilding to north-west with single-bay single-storey lean-to projecting linking bay. Detached six-bay single-storey rubble stone-built outbuilding, built c. 1840, to north-west on a stepped plan. Remains of rubble stone-built walled orchard to site. Gateway, built c. 1840, to south-west comprising monolithic stone pier with cast-iron gate. Farmyard to west with stone paving, house built in north-west corner.
