7 The Village, Templepatrick, Co Antrim, BT39 0AA

Seven The Village is a grade B1 listed building comprising an attached three-bay two-storey rendered house built circa 1820, adjoined to and now incorporating a single remaining house (the only survivor of a former terrace of six) built circa 1800. The buildings are situated on the south side of the main street near the centre of Templepatrick, County Antrim.

The structures are double-pile in plan, with the rear pile having a lower ridge line. Roofs are pitched slate with painted timber bargeboards. Walls are roughcast over a chamfered plinth, except for the block-marked front (west) elevations and the south gables. All openings are square-headed unless otherwise stated, and windows are painted timber with rendered masonry sills.

The principal northeast elevation of the main house features a central painted timber glazed door with multiple raised and fielded panels and margin overlights, flanked by a window on either side. The doorcase consists of two pilasters surmounted by a full Doric entablature containing both triglyphs and guttae, with a stone threshold accessed by a single step. Corners are defined by flush rendered V-jointed quoins. The side bays are lit by bipartite 1/1 sash windows; those on the first floor have wallhead dormers over with fretted bargeboards. The first floor centre bay has a bipartite side-hung casement.

The principal elevation of the adjoined former No. 9 has been remodelled and is now three windows wide, all fitted with stop-ended chamfered architraves. Ground floor windows are 6/6 timber sashes and first floor windows are 3/6. The northwest gable is double and overlooks the driveway. To the right is a bipartite window detailed with a stop-ended label mould; two 2/2 sashes light the first floor. To the left is a canted bay with 1/1 sashes, and over the canted bay is a similar bipartite sash to the first floor.

The southeast elevation of the main house has an asymmetrical arrangement of windows: a 1/1 sliding sash at ground floor left, a small low-level six-paned window at the centre, and a small 2/2 sliding sash at right; a roughly central 2/2 sliding sash lights the first floor. The southeast elevation of former No. 9 is abutted by a lean-to porch containing a variety of one-over-one and two-over-two sashes and one six-light casement to ground and first floors. The southeast gable of the main house is abutted by No. 9, with the exposed section featuring a variety of sashes and a sheeted entrance door. The north gable of No. 9 is blank.

To the rear of No. 9 is a detached multi-bay single-storey stone outbuilding with a single central wallhead dormer with sheeted painted timber doors and a catslide dormer to its right end. Square-headed openings have red brick dressings, painted timber sheeted doors, and casement windows, set within a paved courtyard.

The house fronts directly onto the main street, with the garden bounded to the street by a low wall and hedge. Access is from the northeast through a gateway set back from the street, which features ornate wrought iron double gates and square cast iron pillars with moulded caps. A hedge-lined drive past the northwest gable leads to a paved courtyard. Rainwater goods are cast iron.
