Place & story

A tower above the stable yard

The official building survey records Loughanmore’s former coach house and outbuildings around a four-sided courtyard. Its layout already appeared on the 1832 Ordnance Survey map, while later Victorian work gave the frontage a Gothic Revival character. A tall entrance tower carries a clock and a small projecting corner turret. Basalt walls, brick-dressed windows and slate roofs unite the ranges. The front block was subsequently adapted as the estate’s main residence, preserving working buildings after the principal house was demolished in 1988. [2]
