10 Shane's Terrace, Shane's Street, Randalstown, Antrim, Co Antrim, BT41 2AB

10 Shane's Terrace, Shane's Street, Randalstown, is a single-storey mid-Victorian terrace house with attic, built of coursed hammer-dressed basalt rubble with red brick dressings. It was constructed circa 1860s as part of a terrace of 14 worker cottages built by the O'Neill family for the Shane's Castle estate. The terrace first appears on the Ordnance Survey map of 1903, the site being empty in 1858. The house, despite loss of some original interior and exterior features, retains distinctive proportions and forms part of a terrace of definite character.

The main entrance faces south-west. The roof is covered in Bangor blue slates in regular courses with dark-toned ridge tiles. A small original flush rooflight sits to the right, with an original gabled dormer to the left. The dormer roof is slated with timber barge boards of fretted pattern and slate cheeks. The dormer front contains a rectangular timber fixed light with a side-hung casement in plate glass, set in a timber frame with horizontal boarding to the gable above. A shared chimney with the adjoining house stands at the ridge's left extremity, constructed of red brick with projecting brick cornice, four earthenware pots, and crude pointing.

The front elevation contains one window to the left of the doorway, both set within red brick block surrounds with flat arches. The window is a rectangular timber sliding sash, vertically hung 1 over 1 with horns and exposed sash box, featuring a projecting painted stone cill. Most of the original lattice glazing has been lost; a 1970 survey recorded that at least one house in the terrace retained lattice-paned sashes to the front and fanlight, and old photographs document diagonal-pattern quarry glazing in the west gable windows. The doorway contains a modern rectangular timber two-panel glazed door painted white with translucent glazing, set below a rectangular fanlight of reeded glass, fitted with modern wrought iron hardware. Cast iron guttering and downpipes run to the projecting red brick eaves course.

The rear elevation comprises a single-storey rear wall to the left with a lower rear return projecting at the right, the main roof sweeping down over it. Walls are of roughly coursed basalt rubble with original lime mortar in places and later cement pointing. One small original flush rooflight lights the roof. A window in the rear wall is a rectangular timber sliding sash 1 over 1 without horns with exposed sash box and concrete cill. The window in the return has been widened and is modern rectangular timber fixed lights with top-hung vents. A modern rectangular flush timber door with translucent glazed panel opens from the side of the return, with cement-rendered reveals. A recessed area between rear wall and return is finished with cement screed. Cast iron gutters and downpipes serve the rear elevations, alongside PVC soil and waste pipes.

The house stands set back from the main road within a front garden grassed with a red tiled path to a modern iron gateway and cement screed path across the front. The front garden is bounded by hedges. A gravelled communal driveway runs across the rear elevation, beyond which stands a line of basalt rubble outhouses and garages. The detached garage for this house features Bangor blue slates, PVC rainwater goods, sheeted timber doors, and concrete brick dressings with smeared cement pointing.

The terrace alternates in pairs with handed plans. Old photographs indicate that windows throughout the original terrace were glazed with diagonal-pattern quarry panes or lattice work, features now largely lost. Despite alterations, the house and terrace retain their mid-Victorian character and sit within the Randalstown Conservation Area.
