Description

An early 19th century house with later additions and alterations, now serving as a garage building. The main structure is a 2-storey, 3-bay symmetrical block of square plan, with a garage wing projecting to the southeast and a later 2-bay, 2-storey wing (Tudor Court) projecting to the northwest. The walls are roughcast with droved ashlar dressings and raised margins at windows and corners.

The principal northeast elevation features a band course above ground level and a lintel course at first floor, topped by an eaves cornice and blocking course. The entrance is centrally placed, accessed by a granolithic stair with wrought-iron railings. The entrance is framed by a classical stone doorpiece comprising Tuscan columns, an entablature and blocking course. The entrance doors are 16-panel, flush-beaded, 2-leaf timber doors with a panelled inner door of 22 panes above, surmounted by a plate glass fanlight. Flanking single-storey canted windows with 3 lights each feature cornices and blocking courses. First floor windows have projecting cills.

The southwest rear elevation is symmetrical with a 3-bay section advanced at centre. A gabled oversailing conservatory projects from the principal floor at the centre bay, with a roughcast gable. A door to the right of centre is flanked by windows, with a stone access stair fitted with cast and wrought-iron handrails. The remainder of the rear elevation is largely blank except for single windows at principal floor to the right and first floor at the centre bay, both with projecting cills, and a modern door at the bottom right.

The northwest wing (Tudor Court) projects to the right and features cill and lintel courses at first floor level. A modern entrance door at ground floor is set in a stepped concrete pointed-arched opening to the outer left, with 2 narrow windows in the bay to the right. Three closely spaced windows centre the first floor elevation. A coped parapet runs at eaves level, raised at corners to the outer left and right. The rear elevation is irregularly composed with an advanced section at the bay to the right.

Windows throughout the main block are timber sash and case: 4-pane at bay windows, 16-pane at first floor outer bays, and plate glass bipartite with a timber mullion at the centre; 12-pane windows appear at the rear elevation. The wing's first floor principal front features plate glass timber sash and case windows. Elsewhere, a variety of modern and multi-pane timber glazing is present.

The main block is roofed in grey slate with piended gables. A central valley gutter runs at the rear with flanking piended roofs creating an M-shaped roof profile. Cast-iron gutters and downpipes run at the eaves to the rear and sides. The wing is topped by a metal platform roof with a mansard pitch at the southwest eaves. The main block features corniced ashlar 6-flue ridge stacks with octagonal cans.

Inside the house (designated South Park), a stone staircase with timber handrail survives, along with most original internal fittings including architraved 6-panel doors, shutters and cornices.

The garage features a modern square opening at centre set within a semicircular margined recess, with a string course and crenellated parapet above. A coped wall with a curved profile links the garage to the main block at the right. The roof is modern corrugated material.

An outbuilding of random rubble construction extends to left and right from the conservatory. At the outer right stands a single-storey, square, gabled outbuilding harled and roofed in grey slate.

The boundary walls are of random rubble, facing the garden and Kilkerran Road. Square cement rendered and lined gatepiers to the north have corniced and domed ashlar caps. The main gate is rustic timber and iron with onion-dome finials, with a matching pedestrian gate to the right.
