Place & story
Turrets, bays and decorative render
The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage identifies George Papworth as the designer of Kilcornan House for Sir Thomas Redington. The house originally had two storeys above a raised basement. Projecting bays, stepped buttresses and small corner turrets give its elevations a castle-like outline, while decorative render bands carry quatrefoil and other motifs. The entrance porch has octagonal corner turrets and a Tudor-arched doorway. [2]
A later floor
The inventory dates the addition of another floor and a flat roof to about 1970. It distinguishes replacement windows in that later floor from the moulded surrounds of the original storeys, recording how adaptation changed the house’s earlier form. [2]
