Place & story
A house facing the inlet
Ardagh Lodge was already standing by 1855. The architectural inventory identifies it as a yachting lodge, aligned to overlook an inlet of Newport Bay. Its original symmetrical frontage was later extended sideways, leaving a longer building around a central doorway with a fanlight. The changing plan records the enlargement of a waterside retreat. [2]
Garden and landing place
The lodge’s setting includes a walled garden recorded as standing by 1838 and a private pier present by 1897. The inventory connects the property with the Buchanan, Ormsby, O’Donnell and Stoney families. Together, the house, enclosed garden and landing place show how residence, cultivated grounds and access to the bay formed one estate. [2]
