A pair of single storey terrace houses or cottages of basalt rubble now combined into one dwelling; forming part of what was originally a block of four similar single cottages. Main entrance faces south, located in former cottage No 1; doorway located in the former cottage No 2 no longer functions as a door. Each cottage unit is three bays wide consisting of a central doorway flanked each side by a window. The overall entrance elevation of the property is now 6 bays wide. Entrance elevation: roof of Bangor blue slates in regular courses; dark toned ridge tiles. One chimney, on left-hand gable: red brick, rebuilt, with projecting blue-black brick cornice of three courses, surmounted by a blocking course of red brick; two pots. Similar chimney at right-hand extremity, common with the adjoining house to the right, but of original red brick. Walls of basalt rubble with roughly squared quoins to left-hand extremity; but covered with creeper; projecting brick eaves course; red brick flat arch to head and block dressings to openings but partly obscured by later cement reveals and raised surrounds; recessed pointing to masonry. Cast iron gutter with cast iron downpipe to right-hand extremity. Windows are rectangular timber sliding sash, 1 over 1, with horns, painted white, with exposed sash boxes painted black; projecting sandstone cills. Doorway to No 1, to left, contains a rectangular sheeted timber door, surmounted by a rectangular fanlight of obscured glass, in a moulded timber frame; modern metal letterbox; antique-style metal door knocker; sandstone base blocks to frame; concrete doorstep. Doorway to No 2, to right, is similar, but doorstep closed off by a painted baseboard. West elevation is a blank gable rendered with a wet dash of crushed stones. Overhanging eaves with painted panelled soffits; moulded timber barge boards. Rear elevation: modernised with the two original cottage elevations now treated as one elevation which contains one doorway and three modern timber windows. Roof slated as previous to entrance front, with five modern rooflights; PVC rainwater goods. SETTING: The building stands at one end of a terrace of what was originally 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. A concrete driveway along gable of house No 1, bounded on the left by a basalt rubble wall, leads to a rear garden, grassed, with large new detached garage standing to the west.
