Ladywell Park

Detached two-bay single-storey former gate lodge serving Ladywell House, built c.1845. Now in use as a private house. Hipped natural slate roof with overhanging eaves having cast-iron rainwater goods and a rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with cut stone sills and Wyatt-style timber sliding sash windows. Located adjacent to main entrance to Ladywell House (to the south) and to the northwest of Glassan.

A simple mid nineteenth-century gate lodge, of modest architectural aspirations, which retains much of its early form, fabric and character. This unassuming gate lodge originally served the main entrance to Ladywell House to the south and was probably built to designs by the architect responsible for the designs to the main house, Sandham Symes (1807-1894), a renowned architect of his day. This lodge remains part of the architectural heritage of Westmeath and it continues to contribute to the historic nature of landscape to the west of Glassan on the eastern shore of Lough Ree.
