Description
BACKGROUND
Springvale House is a typical Georgian residence dating back, we understand, to approximately 1814. It is positioned in a mature parkland setting.
The property is described on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage website as a detached, 3 bay, 2 storey farmhouse on a symmetrical plan centred on a single bay, single storey gabled projecting porch to the ground floor. There is a hipped slated roof and an E shaped plan with clay ridge tiles, rendered and central chimney stacks, having cut limestone string courses below capping, supporting terracotta octagonal pots.. In its appraisal, they say This farmhouse represents an integral component of the domestic built heritage on the outskirts of Ballinrobe with the architectural value of the composition, one rooted firmly in the contemporary Georgian fashion..
It goes on to say that the property has historic connections with the Blake family, including Henry Joseph Blake. The Blakes were a very well-known aristocratic family in Galway and Mayo. We understand that it was occupied by multiple tenants over the generations, including a Resident Magistrate by the name of Alan Bell, who was apparently executed in Dublin during the War of Independence while investigating an attempt on the life of Viscount John Denton Pixton Ffrench, a former Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
The current owners have been in occupation for almost 60 years and have resided and farmed the lands on a full time basis in that duration.

DESCRIPTION
Springvale House is a typical of its period and style, quite symmetrical in the main. Its front elevation, with the cut stone faade is a most attractive feature, together with its central position within the holding, nicely set back off the road, and accessed by a tree-lined avenue. The house is over two floors and accessed via a projecting porch into the main reception hall, which benefits from two period fan lights, one at each end. The rooms, in the main, are generous and well-proportioned, with an overall net internal accommodation of approximately 204 sq. m. (2,200 sq. ft.).
Ground Floor
The house is entered through the porch with flagged floor and this leads directly into the main hall with ceramic floor tiles with a typical arched Georgian fan light. The Reception Room is bright and airy with large windows to the front and side. The spacious kitchen/ dining room is practical and fit for purpose and the back kitchen/laundry room has an original Belfast Sink still in situ. There is also a back hall, inner hall and wet room on the ground floor.
First Floor
At first floor there are 5 bedrooms all of which have original period fireplaces. The master bedroom is large at 18.384 sq.m (197.88 sq. ft) and benefits from an en-suite bathroom. Three of the bedrooms are to the front of the house which offer wonderful countryside views while the rooms at the rear enjoy south facing sun during the day.
The Property has a Net Internal Area of 204.50 sq.m (2,201 sq. ft)
External
To the rear, there is a substantial yard area with lime washed out offices, which include pony stables, coach house and other stores. They are of a similar period to the main house and could lend themselves to a residential conversion, subject to securing Planning Permission. From the yard one accesses a small haggart and a further field off same which, by virtue of its high stone walls, was probably an orchard in the generations past.
