Glenshiel, house in County Limerick

What is recorded here

Glenshiel in Garryglass has modern replacement windows but still greets you through its original double doors. The house has moved with the times; the entrance remains convinced you’ll be arriving with a hatbox, two trunks and a girl whose sole duty is to look after the hat.

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1920. Two-bay two-storey addition, built c. 1960, to rear (west) elevation. Hipped slate roof with timber bracketed eaves and rendered chimneystack. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings having replacement uPVC windows with concrete sills. Square-headed opening having glazed overlight over timber panelled double-leaf doors.

This house is a typical example of a middle sized Irish country house. It retains some original features such as the bracketed eaves and double-leaf door with overlight. It forms a pleasing silhouette in the surrounding countryside.
