SETTING: The building stands within a block of what was originally a terrace of four similar single cottages, the block itself forming part of a row of five similar blocks. The overall terrace stands in a rural area, facing the main road but set back from it slightly, with a tarmac access road immediately in front, separated from the main road by kerbstones. Facing the terrace row is the heavily wooded demesne of Shane's Castle, bounded by a basalt rubble wall, while the rest of the area around consists of agricultural land. The rear is reached by a gravelled driveway along the gable of the adjacent house, No 5, to the west. At the rear of the house is a small gravelled area with outbuildings of no special interest and a garden beyond.
