Reynella Cottage

Complex of single and two-storey outbuildings, arranged around a central courtyard. built c.1810. Associated with Reynella Cottage, now demolished. Now in use as an agricultural farmyard. Pitched natural slate roofs with cast-iron rainwater goods and rendered chimneystacks having terracotta chimneypots over. Coursed rubble limestone walls with sections of smooth render over. Square-headed openings with replacement windows, a number having cast-iron security bars. Square-headed doorcases with timber panelled doors. Set back from road in own grounds with rendered gate piers (on square plan) with carved stone or cast-iron name plaques having cut limestone capstone over. Cast-iron double-gates with wrought-iron details. Coursed limestone boundary walls to road frontage (east) and rubble limestone division walls to site. Located in own grounds to the north of Killucan.

An appealing and substantial complex of outbuildings, which retains its early character and form. These structures are well-built and retain much of their early fabric, including natural slate roofs. Reynella Cottage was originally sited just to the south of this complex but was either demolished or later converted into an outbuilding. The fine entrance gates, with cast-iron or carved stone name plaques and cast-iron gates, now makes an unusually grand entrance to a farm yard. This complex of outbuildings and the main entrance gates are a welcome contribution to the architectural heritage of County Westmeath and are attractive features in the landscape to the north of Killucan.
