What is recorded here
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.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
