Cottage facing Eskylane Presbyterian Church, Steeple Road, on corner with Ladyhill Road, Eskylane, Antrim, Co Antrim

This is an early to mid-19th century cottage situated on the corner of Steeple Road and Ladyhill Road in Eskylane, Antrim. While possessing limited architectural or historical interest beyond a reused 18th-century datestone, it stands within a rural setting, facing onto the main road and set back slightly with a rough grass verge.

The cottage is a single-storey building in semi-derelict condition, with derelict additions to each end. The main entrance faces west, flanked by two boarded-up windows to the left and one to the right. The exterior walls are of roughcast render, with a smooth cement-rendered plinth and similar raised dressings around the openings. A rectangular sandstone plaque is set between the two windows on the left side, inscribed "Built by P.H.y. 1795 & Mouni Egel" (or "Mount Egel"). The porch has red brick nib walls with render spalling and vegetation on top. The roof is of corrugated iron, and rainwater goods are missing except for a metal downpipe on the porch. A red brick chimney is located on the south gable. The north gable is of exposed basalt field stones, revealed following the collapse of a formerly attached block. The rear elevation is currently inaccessible due to overgrown vegetation. The south gable is predominantly enclosed by an additional block with a corrugated iron roof.

The precise date of the present building is unknown, but it appears on the Ordnance Survey map of 1858. It is believed to be a rebuilding of an earlier structure on the same site, which is depicted on the Ordnance Survey map of 1833 and recorded by the inscribed datestone. A previous survey in 1972 described the cottage as having a roughcast exterior with rendered dressings and a slated roof, brick chimneys, a sheeted door with a rectangular fanlight and vertical astragals within a lean-to porch, and unrecessed sash windows with horizontal divisions. Subsequent outbuildings were noted as having slated, corrugated iron, or asbestos roofs.
