History
Springfield House dates to 1763, being a significant landmark in the historic town of Celbridge for over two and a half centuries. The house has witnessed the passage of time, from being leased to the notable Langrishe family in 1801 to being mentioned in prominent literature, including Aidan Higgins's renowned book, 'Langrishe Go Down'. The latter was adapted into a film by BBC, casting a spotlight on Springfield's historic significance. Otto Rauchbauer's 'Ancestral Voices - The Big House in Anglo-Irish Literature' further establishes Springfield's literary and cultural prominence. The property also served as a guest house which was carefully curated by the current owners who took ownership in 1989.
Current Income:
The residence maintains a consistently high occupancy rate, with most available spaces, including the main house, gate lodge, and apartment, being utilised at all times. Additionally, the property hosts a telephone mast, from which it generates additional income. This high demand for accommodation and diversified revenue streams contributes to the ongoing success of the establishment.
Income Potential:
There is opportunity for further revenue generation with an additional four bedrooms which could be converted to increase turnover when the vendors vacate. There is potential to convert stables into apartments in the long term. Irish Water has indicated that the sewer/water network can support a 60-bedroom hotel. This implies feasibility for expanding the property into a larger hospitality establishment, potentially increasing revenue through increased accommodation capacity.
