2 Shane's Terrace, Shane's Street, Randalstown, Antrim, Co Antrim, BT41 2AB

2 Shane's Terrace is a single storey terrace house with attic, built of coursed hammer-dressed basalt rubble with fine recessed jointing and red brick dressings. It dates from the 19th century and is part of a terrace of 14 houses set back from the main road.

The roof is covered in Bangor blue slates laid in regular courses with dark toned ridge tiles. There is one small original flush rooflight to the right and an original gabled dormer to the left. The dormer roof is slated to match, with timber barge boards of fretted pattern. The dormer front contains a rectangular timber fixed light with a side-hung casement, all plate glass in a timber frame, with horizontal boarding to the gable above. A red brick chimney sits on the roof ridge at the left-hand extremity, shared with the adjoining house. It has a projecting brick cornice and four earthenware pots, with two television aerials attached. A projecting red brick eaves course runs across the wall face. Cast iron guttering is present, though no downpipe.

The south-west facing main elevation contains one window to the left of the doorway. Both are set in red brick block surrounds with flat brick arches to their heads. The window is a rectangular timber sliding sash, vertically hung with 1 over 1 panes and horns, with an exposed sash box and projecting painted stone cill. The doorway contains a modern rectangular timber 2-panel door, painted white with a glazed top panel of translucent glass, beneath a similarly glazed rectangular fanlight, all in a timber surround. A modern aluminium letterbox is fitted, and two concrete steps lead to the front door.

The rear elevation is plainer in character. The rear wall to the left has a projecting rear return to the right, with the main roof swept over it. The roof is slated as the front with one original flush rooflight to the left. The rear wall and return wall are rendered with a wet dash of crushed stones over a smooth rendered plinth, with cast iron gutters. A later porch occupies the angle between the rear wall and return, constructed of similar rendered walling with a low pitched lean-to roof of corrugated perspex, dark stained timber fascia boards, and crude PVC guttering and downpipe. The modern rear door is a rectangular flush timber type with a glazed panel, and a rectangular window to its side in dark stained timber with a fixed light and top-hung vent. Within the porch is another rear door to the return, a rectangular timber panelled and glazed door, and a window in the rear wall—a rectangular timber fixed light with top-hung vent. The rear return window is a rectangular timber fixed light with a top-hung casement to the right. The recessed area between rear wall and return is of concrete.

The house stands in a terrace where pairs of houses alternate with handed plans. The front garden is grassed with a concrete path leading to a small modern painted iron gateway with plain square iron posts. The garden is bounded by hedges. Behind the house is a communal gravelled driveway with a line of basalt rubble outhouses and garages beyond. The garage serving this house is one of a semi-detached pair with PVC rainwater goods, synthetic slates, modern flush timber doors, and a modern metal flue pipe.
