15 - 16 Edenduff Terrace, Antrim, Co Antrim, BT41 4NF

A pair of single-storey terrace cottages of basalt rubble, now combined into one dwelling. These buildings form part of what was originally a terrace of four similar cottages. The property is grade B2 listed.

The main entrance faces south, located in the former cottage No 15 on the left; the doorway of No 16 to the right no longer functions. Each original cottage unit is three bays wide with a central doorway flanked by windows on each side, making the combined entrance elevation six bays wide overall.

The entrance elevation is covered with Bangor blue slates in regular courses with dark-toned ridge tiles. Two chimneys are present: one at the left-hand extremity is shared with the adjoining house to the left, constructed of red brick with a projecting blue-black brick cornice of three courses surmounted by a blocking course and two pots; the chimney to the right-hand gable is similar but has been rebuilt in new red brick. The walls are of basalt rubble with roughly squared quoins at the right-hand extremity and 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. The mortar pointing is lime. Metal guttering and downpipes run to each extremity. Windows are rectangular timber sliding sash, 1 over 1, with horns and lattice glazing, all painted white with exposed sash boxes also painted white and projecting painted stone cills. The doorway of No 15 contains a rectangular sheeted timber door surmounted by a plain rectangular fanlight in a plain timber frame, with modern metal letterbox and handle, stone block bases to the frame, and a concrete doorstep. Black PVC vertical trunking for cables is positioned to the right of the doorway.

The east elevation is a blank basalt rubble gable, most of which is obscured by rough lime mortar. A chimney breast of brickwork rises flush with the upper wall. The eaves overhang with painted panelled soffits and timber barge boards.

The rear elevation consists of the main front block of the two former cottages treated as one unit with a long new return to the right-hand side. The front block has slates matching the front elevation and three modern rooflights. The walls are rendered with wet dash of crushed stones over a smooth cement-rendered plinth with a projecting brick eaves course. Openings have raised smooth cement-rendered surrounds. Metal guttering with new metal downpipe and a PVC soil pipe are present. One large window to the right is modern rectangular timber casements with projecting concrete cill; a large doorway to the left contains modern rectangular timber glazed double doors surmounted by a decorative terracotta plaque that has been re-used. The rear return has similar walling and opening character with synthetic slates to the roof. A rendered chimney sits on the gable with a modern steel-railed balcony to the first floor in the gable.

The building stands at one end of a block that was originally a terrace of four similar cottages, itself part of a row of five such blocks. The overall terrace occupies a rural setting, facing the main road but set back slightly, with a tarmac access road immediately in front separated from the main road by kerbstones. Facing the terrace is the heavily wooded demesne of Shane's Castle, bounded by a basalt rubble wall, while the surrounding area consists of agricultural land. A gravelled driveway runs along the gable of No 16, between it and the gable of the adjacent block to the east, leading along the side of a garden to a modern garage well to the rear of the house. A paved patio is situated immediately to the rear.
