Mount Southwell, country house in County Limerick

What is recorded here

Mount Southwell in Enniscoush sends you up a flight of steps to an oval-topped doorway, with a grand three-part window watching from above. By the time you reach the knocker, ‘Can we have our ball back?’ has become ‘We seek the release of our property.’

Detached five-bay two-storey house, built c. 1800, with central breakfront. Square-headed openings with timber sliding sash windows. Wyatt style window above central doorway. Elliptical-headed door opening with doorcase and fanlight, approached by flight of steps. Rendered sweep walls to entrance with render coping. Rendered square-profile piers with rendered pyramid caps, flanking recent gate.

Mount Southwell is an important house architecturally and historically within the town of Rathkeale.
