What is recorded here
Rathcoole Lodge stands so far back from Main Street that a parishioner's 'quick word' with the vicar required provisions. By the time you reached his door, the couple you came to complain about could have married respectably.
Detached five-bay two-storey glebe house, c.1820. Rendered, ruled and lined walls with raised quoins. Timber sash windows. Timber panelled door with pilaster surround and console brackets. Stripped pilasters supporting a moulded surround to a plain semi-circular fanlight with keystone. The westernmost two bays have a pedimented gable front with simple carved timber bargeboards, and glazed timber panelled door with plain fanlight and render surround. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimney stacks. Flat-roofed extension to west.
This glebe house is set far back from the Main Street in Rathcoole giving it a secluded air. It retains many noteworthy features, particularly the windows and door, and an attractive asymmetry imparting an informal character.
