1 & 2 Edenduff Terrace, Antrim, Co Antrim, BT41 4NF

1 & 2 Edenduff Terrace is a single dwelling formed from two mid-Victorian terrace cottages, now combined into one house. Built by the O'Neill family as part of worker housing for the Shane's Castle estate, the row appears for the first time on the Ordnance Survey map of 1902 and is tentatively dated to the 1860s. Originally, this block consisted of four similar single cottages, of which these two remain. The building retains definite character as part of the larger terrace group, which enjoys a pleasant rural setting, though it has lost some original features including the lattice glazing to the front windows.

The structure consists of basalt rubble walls with roughly squared quoins to the left-hand extremity, now partially obscured by creeper. The roof is laid in Bangor blue slates in regular courses with dark-toned ridge tiles. The entrance elevation, now six bays wide, presents as a unified front, though it clearly reads as two cottage units of three bays each. The left-hand gable carries a chimney of red brick, rebuilt with a projecting blue-black brick cornice of three courses surmounted by a blocking course of red brick and two pots. The right-hand extremity has a similar chimney in original red brick, shared with the adjoining house. A projecting brick eaves course runs across the facade, which features red brick flat arches to window and door heads and block dressings to openings, though these are partly obscured by later cement reveals and raised surrounds. The pointing to the masonry is recessed. Cast iron guttering and downpipe run to the right-hand extremity.

Windows are rectangular timber sliding sash, 1 over 1, with horns, painted white with exposed sash boxes painted black. They sit in projecting sandstone cills. The doorway to former cottage No. 1, positioned to the left, contains a rectangular sheeted timber door surmounted by a rectangular fanlight of obscured glass in a moulded timber frame, with sandstone base blocks, a modern metal letterbox, and an antique-style metal door knocker. The doorstep is concrete. The doorway to former cottage No. 2, to the right, is similar in design but its doorstep is closed off by a painted baseboard and no longer functions as a door. The west elevation is a blank gable rendered with wet dash of crushed stones, with overhanging eaves carrying painted panelled soffits and moulded timber barge boards.

The rear elevation has been modernised, with the two original cottage elevations now treated as a single elevation containing one doorway and three modern timber windows. The roof here is slated as the front elevation but includes five modern rooflights and modern PVC rainwater goods.

The building stands at one end of a terrace that originally comprised four similar single cottages arranged in a block, itself part of a row of five such blocks. The 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 row is the heavily wooded demesne of Shane's Castle, bounded by a basalt rubble wall. The surrounding area consists of agricultural land. A concrete driveway along the gable of house No. 1, bounded on the left by a basalt rubble wall, leads to a rear grassed garden with a large new detached garage standing to the west.
