Description

Kilmore Lodge is a four-bay two-storey building over basement, constructed around 1840, situated to the west of Bullock Park Road. Originally built as a shooting lodge, it is of rectangular plan with a full-height canted bay to the east. The principal elevation faces east. A single-storey gabled porch with a timber-framed glazed section abuts the canted bay at ground floor, accessed by three sandstone steps. A single-storey lean-to extension extends to the north, a two-storey hipped return projects to the west, and a single-storey lean-to link extension with column supports stands at the south-west corner. A lower two-storey attached outbuilding occupies the south-west, with accommodation at first floor. A dovecote links to a stable block at the west.

The walls are roughcast over a smooth plinth of sandstone. The pitched roof is covered in natural slate with stone ridge tiles, raised sandstone verges with kneelers surmounted by stone pyramid finials. A square ashlar sandstone chimney with nine flues and clay pots rises from the roof; roughcast chimneys serve the outbuilding.

Windows throughout are square-headed timber-framed 6/6 sliding sash sashes set in sandstone surrounds with sandstone sills, except where otherwise noted. The principal east elevation comprises four bays. Bays one and two each contain a single window at first floor and lower ground floor, with a 1/1 sliding sash window at ground floor. Bay three is the canted bay, containing a single window at first floor, a small window to the right cheek at lower ground floor, and a ground floor entrance. The entrance consists of a square-headed four-panelled timber door with glazed top panels and a transom light, surmounted by a triangular pediment and flanked by columns. The attached timber-framed glazed porch has a polypropylene roof and crested ridge tiles with smooth rendered plinth. Bay four contains a single window at first floor and a 1/1 sliding sash window at ground floor.

The south gable contains a single metal casement window at first floor and a timber-framed twelve-pane window at ground floor, both with concrete surrounds. The west elevation is abutted at its centre by a stairwell return containing a single square-headed 1/1 sliding sash window at lower ground floor and a large round-arched window at ground floor. The exposed section to the left contains a single 2/2 sliding sash window at lower ground floor and a 1/1 sliding sash window at first floor. The exposed section to the right is abutted at first floor by the lean-to link extension. The north elevation is abutted by the lean-to extension containing a large window, with a blank first floor above the exposed section.

An attached six-bay two-storey outbuilding stands to the south-west. Its south elevation comprises, from left: bay one with a segmental-headed carriage arch containing double-leaf vertically-sheeted timber doors; bays two to four each with single windows at each floor, the ground floor windows having concrete surrounds; bay five with a single ground floor window; and bay six with a 1/1 sliding sash window and a metal casement window at ground floor. The west elevation is abutted by a sandstone dovecote consisting of a segmental-headed ashlar arch flanked by substantial stone piers, surmounted by an octagonal tower with square-headed openings to the cardinal points and topped by a stone dome. The north elevation contains four segmental-headed carriage arches with double-leaf vertically-sheeted timber doors, the right arch surmounted by a single window. The east elevation is abutted by the main house.

A five-bay two-storey rubble stone stable block extends to the west. Its east elevation, exposed on the left side only, contains vertically-sheeted timber half-doors and casement windows at lower ground floor, with single windows at ground floor. An enclosed farmyard lies further west, bounded by rubble stone walling with a rubble stone outbuilding to the west, and access through wrought-iron gates to the north and south.

The property is set within extensive grounds planted with mature forest. The road frontage to the east is bounded by hedging and trees. Access is from the south-east through squared rendered piers supporting cast-iron gates; a secondary access to the north-east is now blocked.
