The Lodge, O'Neill Street

In the shadow of Old St Mary’s Church, sits an historic Georgian property. Built by prosperous Quakers, this detached two storey residence with an extensive basement, represented the essence of refined living for the mercantile classes of the period who brought wealth and built homes in this historic enclave of Clonmel.

Bounded by the terraced houses of Anne and O’Neil Street, The Lodge is the only private detached property within the conservation area that offers an oasis of seclusion and privacy. Enclosed within its high stone boundary walls, it contains a generously sized and secluded garden ideal for entertaining, with two off street parking opportunities, and is bounded by the city’s original fortifications which still form the eastern end of the demesne.

The three bay residence is capped with a handsome hipped slate roof and rendered chimney stacks, which together with later building extensions, a lockable garage, front timber porch, and set of iron wrought gates and posts on Ann Street, create a remarkable residence. The house spans an impressive 4000 sf and includes a hallway, three reception rooms, five bedrooms and three bathrooms, an expansive kitchen, laundry and storage spaces, all filled with original features.

Its exact but perfect proportions, are filled with natural light which floods through wood sash windows, illuminating a carefully planned interior and curved staircase. From each of the enchanting vistas of the environs, the layout and proportions are enhanced with three metre high ceilings, original door styles and architraves, all paying tribute to the refined living of a bygone era and steeped in Irish history.

Planning permission has been sought and now approved for a major upgrade to the house interiors and exteriors in sympathy with the surrounding area. Designed with both family life and comfort in mind, this to comprise the reconfiguration of two building facades, the introduction of a private lift installation, four modernized toilets, three bathrooms, seven bedrooms, a double storey height kitchen with roof lights, new access points to the garden, plus a full conversion of the basement to private uses which could include a media room, study, gym, sauna and wine cellar.

The renovation project further allows new owners to imprint their personal style and further enhance this unique residence.
