Coolmore House is a Georgian house located near Carrigaline, County Cork, Ireland.

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.
