About
Enniscoe House appears to be a classic Irish Georgian country house of the middle size. An older house, described as a fortified house (c.1740-1750) is perfectly preserved within the later house, completed in 1798. Retaining significant interior features it represents an important component of the domestic built heritage of north County Mayo confirmed by such attributes as the Classical-style chimneypieces; silk wallpaper of Adamesque design; and delicate plasterwork enrichments. The tour will provide access to interior fragments of change and architectural features.
