History

Built in 1788 by W.W. Newewnham (father of Edward Newenham),[1] Coolmore House is on the site of an older building from the late 1600s. This site has been the ancestral home of the Newenham family since that time.[2] The property was still owned by the Newenham family as of 2014.[3] [4] [5]

As of 2022, the house is in a derelict state.

Trivia

A painting of the house was commissioned by the Newenhams in 1809 by Gaspare Gabrielli. It sold for £156,500 at auction in 2007.[7]
