Description
For Sale by Private Auction (Pre Registration Required to attend) on Thursday the 30th of July 2020. Glenard house, Gate Lodge and grounds consists of a charming old world country two storey Glebe house that was built in 1822. It was attached to St.Mary's church of Ireland church in Clarecastle. It was home to the Pilkington, O'Donoghue, Fahy and McCarthy families over the years. The property is set on a mature holding of 7.95 hectares (19.6 acres) which is made up of circa 10 acres of pasture land and the residual is woodland. In addition, there are stable and stone outbuildings with a courtyard to the rear which are in need of repair. The house is listed as a protected structure by Clare County Council. It is referenced in Hugh W.L Weir's Houses of Clare, where it describes the Glebe (Glenard House) as an “L” Shaped, two storey (west side) and three (northside) bay house with a central fanlit front door, protected by a partial glass porch facing north west. An irregular front hall with a winding staircase leads to pleasantly proportioned rooms. Some of the outbuildings were once inhabited and have fireplaces. There is an Orchard to the east and the Lawns have a number of tall trees including beech, oak, chestnut, lime, sycamore and Lawson Cypress. The gate lodge faces the house from the entrance at the start of the avenue. It was originally a two roomed building but it was extended in the early 1970's to four rooms. It consists of a two bedroom cottage with a bathroom and kitchen/living area. The residence is in need of modernisation and investment but is a rare opportunity to purchase such a special property in a stunning setting. The home is set back from the road and is accessed via an attractive driveway leading to the side of the house. It is positioned on the old Limerick road with attractive stone walls. There is frontage onto a side road which may have the potential for residential sites subject to planning permission. The house is approximately 2km from Clarecastle village on the R458. Accommodation includes a drawing room, dining room, kitchen with an oil range, WC and office/game room on the ground floor. On the first floor there are four well proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom. This is a fantastic opportunity to own an historical residence in an attractive setting with easy access to the motorway (junction 11) bringing one to Shannon Airport, Limerick and Galway which are all within commutable distance. Dromoland Castle and golf course are only 3.5km from the property. BER Exempt. Folio CE14491. 240 sqm. (2,583 sq ft). Access to the Auction room will only be permitted with pre registration due to Covid 19 auction protocol restrictions. Solicitor: Paul Lynch and Co. Solicitors, Ennis, Co Clare.
