What is recorded here
Complex of two-storey outbuildings and stables built around a central courtyard to the rear of Glencara House, built c.1825, with advanced two-bay breakfront with segmental-headed carriage arches to centre of southeast façade (entrance façade). Hipped natural slate roofs with cast-iron rainwater goods. Constructed of coursed squared limestone with chamfered ashlar limestone surrounds to the mainly square-headed openings. Freestanding two-bay two-storey coach house to the north end of entrance block. Located to the rear of Glencara House (15401728).
A suitably fine early-to-mid nineteenth-century stable block and complex of outbuildings associated with Glencara House (15401738). This complex is built to a very high standard with unusually fine squared limestone masonry throughout and attractive chamfered ashlar limestone detailing to the openings. This substantial complex gives an interesting insight into the complex and extensive resources required to maintain a large country estate in Ireland during the nineteenth century. It remains an integral element of the architectural heritage of Westmeath and forms part of an important group of related structures within the Glencara Demesne, along with the main house, the walled gardens (15401730), the entrance gates (15401732) and the former gate lodge (15401733).
