Coolmore House is a Georgian house located near Carrigaline, County Cork, Ireland.
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.
In the 1983 television adaption of Molly Keane's Good Behaviour, Coolmore House was used as the fictional setting of Temple Alice. [6]
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]
