Springhill Rd, Londonderry
Springhill is a 17th-century plantation house that was home to the Lenox-Conyngham family for ten generations, giving it an unusually long continuous family history for a property of its date. That long tenure shows through in the layers of furnishing and family history built up over the centuries. It represents the plantation-era country house tradition distinct from the older medieval and Tudor houses found elsewhere in the region.
Worth the trip
The ten generations of continuous Lenox-Conyngham family occupation, a long unbroken history that shapes the layered interiors.
Before you go
Houses with long single-family histories like this often reward a guided tour over a self-directed walk-through, since much of the interest lies in family stories rather than architecture alone - worth checking tour availability.
