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

A single storey terrace house with attic, built of coursed hammer-dressed basalt rubble with fine recessed jointing and red brick dressings. The building stands at the extreme left-hand end of a terrace of 14 houses facing the main road, set back with front gardens.

The main entrance faces south-west. The roof is covered in Bangor blue slates in regular courses with dark-toned ridge tiles. One small original flush rooflight sits to the left, and an original gabled dormer stands to the right. The dormer roof is slated in the same manner, with timber barge boards of fretted pattern and slated cheeks. The dormer front contains a rectangular timber fixed light with a side-hung casement, all in plate glass set in a timber frame with horizontal boarding to the gable above. A chimney sits on the roof ridge at the right-hand extremity, shared with the adjoining house; it is red brick with a projecting brick cornice and four earthenware pots, with two television aerials attached. Tooled arris detail marks the quoins at the left-hand extremity. A projecting red brick eaves course runs across the elevation.

The front elevation contains one window to the right of the doorway, both set in red brick block surrounds with flat arches to the head. The window is a rectangular timber sliding sash, vertically hung 1 over 1 with horns and exposed sash box, with a projecting stone cill painted. The doorway holds a modern rectangular timber 2-panel glazed door with reeded glazing, set below a similarly glazed rectangular fanlight in a timber surround, fitted with a modern aluminium handle and letterbox. Three concrete steps lead to the front door. Cast iron guttering (without downpipe) projects at the eaves. The end gable contains two windows—one to the ground floor and one to the attic—similar to the front window but with unpainted sandstone cills. The gable wall matches the entrance front walling with tooled arris quoins at each extremity. Oversailing eaves feature sheeted soffits and decorative timber barge boards of fretted pattern. A modern steel door mounted on the gable closes access to the communal rear driveway.

The rear elevation is of plain character. To the right is a blank rear wall; to the left is a projecting rear return with the main roof swept down over it and slated as the front elevation. The rear wall and return wall are rendered with wet dash of crushed stones over a slightly projecting smooth rendered plinth, with a projecting smooth rendered eaves course. The render on the rear wall stops short of the right-hand extremity to reveal part of the basalt quoining. Cast iron gutters and downpipes serve the rear wall and return. PVC soil and waste pipes are fitted to the rear walls. One window in the return comprises a modern rectangular timber fixed light with side-hung casement and projecting concrete cill. A doorway in the side of the return holds a rectangular modern flush timber door with a reeded glass panel and modern aluminium handle, with two deep concrete steps leading down.

The front garden is grassed with a small gravelled strip alongside a concrete path to the front pedestrian gateway and a concrete path across the front. The gateway is a small modern painted iron gate set in plain circular posts with wooden finials. The front garden is bounded by hedges set behind a low basalt rubble wall to the left of the gate and along the left-hand perimeter. A rough stone driveway runs along the end gable from the street, giving access to the communal rear driveway which is gravelled and partly bounded on the north side by a basalt rubble wall with rough basalt copings and cement copings. A line of basalt rubble outhouses or garages stands beyond the rear driveway. The garage for this house is one of a semi-detached pair, fitted with PVC rainwater goods, synthetic slates, and modern flush timber garage doors.
