Kilroe Mills

Detached five-bay two-storey miller’s house, built c.1835, having slightly lower stairs return to rear, and twentieth-century lean-to extension along north-west end of rear. Now derelict. Pitched slate roof with three chimneystacks, cast-iron rainwater goods and rendered copings to gables. Lime rendered coursed rubble limestone walls, exposed to south-east end of rear and having draughted and pecked quoins. Square-headed window openings with draughted and pecked surrounds and polished voussoirs where exposed and painted sills. Timber sliding sash windows to front and part of rear elevations, having eight-over-eight pane windows to ground floor and six-over-nine pane windows to first floor. Replacement timer casement elsewhere. Three-centred-arch door opening to front with cut limestone voussoirs and eight-panel timber door having oval panels to middle and flanked by paned sidelights, and having spoked fanlight. Building is set adjacent to Kilroe Mill and has yard to rear and is bounded to north by random rubble stone wall with vertical coping.

Known as "Inish Lodge", this impressive miller's house, taken together with the adjacent Kilroe Mills, forms an early nineteenth-century industrial grouping of considerable social, technical and architectural quality. Although unfortunately disused for a number of years, it nevertheless retains its original character and much fabric including varied small-pane timber sash windows, slate roof, lime rendered walls and a fine entrance doorway in an unusual three-centred-arch doorway to enhance the graceful façade.
