Description
South Park is a circa 1824, two-storey-over-raised-basement house of symmetrical classical design, constructed with a double pile plan. It is accompanied by a coach house and a roofless wing, creating a Palladian arrangement. The principal front is of cherry-caulked, stugged sandstone, while the remaining walls are roughcast. Dressed ashlar features include a band course below the principal floor, cill and lintel courses at the first floor, a cornice at the eaves, raised margins, and projecting cills at the windows.
The north-west (principal) front has a plain, roughcast basement. A concrete-covered stone staircase oversails the basement at the centre, featuring decorative cast-iron balusters and a wrought-iron handrail. A pilastered stone doorpiece with scrolled stone brackets supports a cornice and blocking course. The entrance door is a 4-panel design with an 8-pane fanlight above; a modern glazed inner door with 5-light sidelights has been added. A single window is located to the left of centre on the principal floor of the north-west (side) elevation. The south-west (rear) elevation features three bays and a three-storey, flat-roofed addition at the centre, with a modern conservatory on the ground floor and two windows on the floors above.
Timber sash and case windows are present throughout, with 12 panes at the principal floor, except for a 24-pane window at the rear. The first floor has 16-pane windows, and the upper floors of the addition have 8-pane windows. A grey slate piended roof is topped with cast-iron gutters and downpipes. Paired, coped, multi-flue stacks rise from the ridge, faced in roughcast with dressed corners and circular cans. A single flue, roughcast wallhead stack with a circular can, is centrally located on the rear addition.
Inside, many original fittings remain, including 6-panel doors, shutters, and cornices. A modern chimneypiece has been installed in the drawing room.
The coach house is gabled and constructed of roughcast rubble with dressed corners, featuring a segmental cart arch in the north-east gable. It has a grey slate roof, 2-leaf vertically-boarded timber doors with iron hinges, and a string course across the gable at eaves height. A lean-to and connecting wall to the right both include vertically-boarded timber doors.
The north-west wing is gabled, with roughcast walls and a roofless design. A coped roughcast connecting wall featuring a vertically-boarded timber door adjoins it on the left.
A random rubble boundary wall runs along Kilkerran Road. Plain, square gatepiers with ball caps flank a wrought-iron entrance gate with matching pedestrian gates.
