5 Edenduff Terrace, Antrim, Co Antrim, BT41 4NF

A single storey, three-bay terrace house or cottage of rubble basalt now one of a block of what was originally four similar cottages. Main entrance faces south. Entrance elevation: roof of Bangor blue slates in regular courses; dark toned ridge tiles. One chimney, on left-hand gable: red brick with projecting blue-black brick cornice of three courses, surmounted by a blocking course of red brick; two pots. Walls of basalt rubble with roughly squared quoins to left-hand extremity; projecting brick eaves course; red brick flat arch to head and block dressings to openings but partly obscured by later cement reveals and surrounds; looks like original lime mortar pointing to masonry, but some later cement repairs. Cast iron gutter but no downpipe. Elevation comprises a central doorway flanked each side by a window. Windows are rectangular timber sliding sash, 1 over 1, with horns, painted white, with exposed sash boxes painted green; projecting stone cills. Doorway contains a rectangular flush timber door with a panel of obscured glass, surmounted by a rectangular fanlight similarly glazed, in a moulded timber frame; modern metal letterbox; painted stone base blocks to frame; concrete doorstep. Black PVC vertical trunking for cables to right of doorway. West elevation is a blank gable of basalt rubble most of which is obscured by rough lime mortar. Overhanging eaves with painted panelled soffits; moulded timber barge boards. Rear elevation: single storey; roof slated as previous; three modern rectangular rooflights. Walling similar to entrance front except bottom portion roughly rendered with lime mortar; old lime mortar pointing to masonry generally. PVC gutter and downpipe. The elevation contains a doorway with a small window to the left: brick dressings to openings but with cement rendered surrounds to window and to reveals of doorway. Window is a rectangular timber fixed light with a later top-hung vent inserted; projecting painted sandstone cill. Doorway contains an original rectangular timber boarded door set in a broad original moulded frame; old metal doorknob; painted stone base blocks to frame each side of door. SETTING: The building stands at one end of 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. There is a gravelled driveway along gable, between it and the gable of the adjacent block to the west, which leads to a small gravelled area at rear of house, beyond which is a garden containing outbuildings of no special interest and a new rendered gabled garage which is currently being built.
