Springmount Lodge

Detached three-bay single-storey former gate lodge, built c.1820, with lean-to extensions to rear. Now in private domestic use. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and replacement rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Bipartite and single round-headed window openings with stone sills, wrought-iron guards and one-over-one timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening to east elevation with canopy, timber lattice surround and uPVC door. Quadrant entrance comprising double-leaf wrought-iron gates flanked by channelled render piers with pedestrian entrance to west and render curving side walls. Fronting onto roadside.

This modestly sized gate lodge happily retains notable features, in particular the timber windows, which add character to both the building and the streetscape. Built to serve Springmount House, it forms part of an interesting group with the main house and fine entrance sweep. The presence of the large scale detached house and its gate lodge is a reminder of a time when the area had a more rural character, before it became a fashionable suburb.
