20 Edenduff Terrace, Antrim, Co Antrim, BT41 4NF

A single storey, three-bay terrace house or cottage of rubble basalt, one of a block of four similar cottages. Main entrance faces south. Entrance elevation: roof of Bangor blue slates in regular courses; dark toned ridge tiles. One chimney, on right-hand gable: new red brick with projecting blue-black brick cornice of three courses, surmounted by a blocking course of red brick; two pots. Walls of basalt rubble with roughly squared quoins to right-hand extremity; 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; surrounds to windows are lugged; looks like original lime mortar pointing to masonry, but some later cement repairs. Part of elevation covered with creeper. Cast iron gutter but no downpipe. Elevation comprises a central doorway flanked each side by a window. Windows are modern rectangular timber fixed lights with a top-hung vent, painted white; projecting painted stone cills. Doorway contains a modern rectangular timber 4-panel door, raised and fielded, surmounted by a rectangular fanlight of obscured glass, in a moulded timber frame; modern metal letterbox; painted stone block bases to frame; painted concrete doorstep. Black PVC vertical trunking for cables to right of doorway, next to window. East elevation is a blank gable rendered with a wet dash of crushed stones, swept over a smooth cement rendered plinth. Overhanging eaves with painted panelled soffits; moulded timber barge boards. Rear elevation: single storey, slated as previous, with three original rectangular metal rooflights, but most of original rear wall covered by a later lean-to extension. Original walling to left is similar to entrance front with metal gutter and downpipe to left-hand side. Later extension has smooth cement rendered walls, painted white, with synthetic slates to roof; overhanging eaves, with plain timber fascia and barge board; PVC gutter and downpipe. Windows in extension are modern rectangular timber fixed lights with top-hung vents, set in plain reveals, with projecting concrete cills. Rear door is modern rectangular flush timber with a glazed panel. SETTING: The building stands at one end of a terrace of 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 leads to a hard standing with a brick paved path along the rear of the house. Immediately to the north are basalt rubble and rendered outbuildings of no special interest, and beyond that is a garden.
