Description:
Seven-bay two-storey over basement house. Hipped slate roof, rubble limestone walls (formerly rendered), one-over-one sash windows having limestone cills. Central bay having tripartite window above ashlar limestone doorcase. Door surround in the ionic order, having sidelights and segmental-headed fanlight with radial leadwork. Timber door having twelve raised and fielded panels. Decorative plasterwork to interior reported to be by the Lafranchini Brothers.
Built in c. 1740 for Captain Courtney Kenny (1702-79), it remained in the Kenny family for over 200 years until it was sold in the late twentieth century to Ballinrobe Rugby Club. The Kennys were involved in the brewing and milling industries and an extensive mill complex survives to the rear.
Brief Description of Project: Conservation and repair works to principal door and doorcase which has suffered fire damage to the interior (including to the plasterwork), loss of glazing and some leadwork, and the addition of inapropriate ironmongery. Photographs of the door taken prior to the damage and alterations will inform the works.
