No. 232 Glenlossera
Lodge, Ballycastle, Co. Mayo
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(232FN-GL) Approx 7 acres Price Guide: € 220.000
Description:
A unique property in many ways. It combines an excepetional
location by the Atlantic with a period property full of history
and style in one of Irelands last undeveloped areas outside Ballycastle,
Co. Mayo.
History:
The Lodge was built in the mid 1850’s as a principal Residence
of an estate comprising 3635 acres acquired by Zachary Mudge
(1814-1867) from the Encumbered estates Commission in January
1854 for 2.490 pounds probably as a commercial enterprise.
The Mudges’family originated from Devonshire and their
historic Mudge family links to the renowned 18th century portrait
painter Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723 –1792) who also hailed
from Devonshire. The Mudge ownership gradually reduced in Mayo
over the next seventy years with the sale of the remaining 2731
acres taking place in 1927 to the Irish Land Commission. Thereafter
the Lodge was next owned by the Moran family and was sold again
in the 1950’s to the present owners. It has become derelict
over the years but full planning permission for full restoration
has been granted in 2008.
The
Lodge
Built with locally sourced pale yellow sandstone with mica the
windows, doors and chimneystacks are all in imported pale yellow
brick and the roof covering was in black Welsh slate. Glenlossera
Lodge is stylistically similar in many ways to the cottages and
ancillary structures of estates elsewhere in the British Isles
of that period.
The building features a most unusual plan arrangement consisting
of three blocks with a central symmetrical block 14m wide by 7m
deep featuring elaborately decorated flat gables with a receded
central door flanked by two narrow slit windows that once featuring
cast iron diamond pattern window frames. Behind the main block
there are two almost symmetrical flanking elements the Southern
block is 15m long by 6m wide and contains bedrooms, the Northern
block is 12 m long and 6m wide and contains the kitchen and other
ancillary staff accommodation.
Glenlossera is a most unusual building being designed in a style
atypical of other conventioanl and traditional Mayo buildings typologies
and is therefore architecturally stylistically and socially significant. Grounds
The property commands circa 7 acres including sporting rights
thereon. It also mentions appox 900 acres of additional sporting
rights on a property transfer document from 1927 as well as
fishing rights in the Glenlossera River, which have not been
exercised.
Future Outlook:
The property os offered with the benefit of full planning permission
for restoration.
It would transform once again into one of Co Mayo’s finest
and most uniqure properties.
