What is recorded here
Spring Lodge in Kilfinnane Town keeps its old timber windows upstairs and wears replacement plastic ones down in the basement. It has the look of a gentleman who insists on proper evening dress because nobody under the table can report the trainers.
Detached five-bay two-storey over basement house, built c. 1790, comprising two-bay single-storey extension to east. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls to front (north) elevation and rendered walls to rear (south) elevation. Square-headed openings having six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows and limestone sills. Square-headed openings to basement having replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed opening with timber pilasters supporting entablature and cornice over timber panelled door. Flight of limestone steps to entrance. Attached three-bay single-storey outbuilding to west having lean-to to front (south). Hipped corrugated-iron roof. Render over rubble sandstone walls. Square-headed window openings. Square-headed openings having corrugated-iron doors. Square-plan rendered piers with caps, double-leaf cast-iron gates, sweeping rendered walls terminating in second pair of piers.
This house has retained many original features such as small-pane timber sash windows, chimneystacks to gable ends, decorative door surround and limestone steps. The stone outbuildings add further interest and context to this important house.
