Riverstown Lodge

Detached double-pile three-bay single-storey house, built c.1845. Pitched natural slate roof with raised verges and rendered chimneystacks to either end. Smooth rendered walls over projecting plinth with raised quoins to the corners. Square-headed window openings with cut stone sills, architraved surrounds and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Central round-headed doorcase to the main façade (east) having architraved surround, early timber panelled door and a fanlight over with banded cast-iron glazing. Set back from road grounds to the south of Killucan.

A good quality mid nineteenth-century gentleman’s house, which its early form and character. This fine small-scale building has retained the vast majority of its early fabric. Of particular interest are the architraved surrounds to the openings and the fine doorcase to the centre, which is quite unusual and has a distinctive fanlight over. This fine composition is a notable addition to the architectural heritage of the area and is a pleasing addition to the landscape to the south of Killucan. This house may have had some connection with Riverstown House to the north (15312021).
