13 -14 Edenduff Terrace, Antrim, Co Antrim, BT41 4NF

A pair of single storey terrace cottages built from basalt rubble, now combined into one dwelling, forming part of what was originally a block of four similar cottages. The property stands at one end of a terrace row comprising five such blocks, sited in a rural area facing the main road and set back slightly behind a tarmac access road separated from the road by kerbstones.

The entrance elevation faces south and is now six bays wide, formed from the merger of two three-bay cottage units. The main entrance is located in the former cottage No 14 on the right; the doorway of former cottage No 13 to the left no longer functions. The roof is covered in Bangor blue slates laid in regular courses with dark toned ridge tiles. Two chimneys are present: the left-hand gable chimney is constructed of rustic brick as a rebuilding, with a projecting blue-black brick cornice of three courses surmounted by a blocking course of red brick and two pots; the right-hand chimney at the extremity, common with the adjoining house, is similar but retains its original red brick.

The walls are of basalt rubble with roughly squared quoins to the left-hand extremity, and feature a projecting brick eaves course. Red brick flat arches head the openings with block dressings, though these are partly obscured by later cement reveals and raised surrounds. Surrounds are lugged except those to the left doorway. Lime mortar pointing is employed to the masonry. A metal gutter with metal downpipe is located at the right-hand extremity.

Windows throughout are rectangular timber sliding sash, 1 over 1, with horns and lattice glazing bars, all painted white with exposed sash boxes also painted white. Projecting painted stone cills serve the windows. The doorway of No 13 contains a rectangular sheeted timber door surmounted by a plain rectangular fanlight in a moulded timber frame with painted stone block bases. Black PVC vertical trunking for cables is present to the right of this doorway.

The west elevation is a blank gable of basalt rubble, mostly obscured by rough lime mortar, with a projecting rendered plinth at the base. Overhanging eaves feature painted panelled soffits and timber barge boards.

The rear elevation consists of the main front block of two former cottages treated as one unit with a long new return to the left-hand side, all single storey with attics. The front block has a slated roof similar to the entrance front with three large modern rooflights. Walling is rendered with a wet dash of crushed stones swept over a smooth cement rendered plinth, and features timber eaves boards with PVC gutter and PVC soil pipe. Two modern rectangular fixed light windows with top-hung vents are set in smooth rendered surrounds with projecting concrete cills. The return features similar walling and roof with similar openings, and includes a modern steel railed balcony to the first floor in the gable.

The building stands facing the heavily wooded demesne of Shane's Castle, bounded by a basalt rubble wall, with agricultural land surrounding the area. A gravelled driveway runs along the gable of house No 13, between it and the adjacent block to the west, leading to a large gravelled area to the north of which stands a modern gabled garage and garden.
