Corbally House, 11 Corbally Road, Crumlin, Co Antrim, BT29 4EB

Corbally House is a late Victorian residence built in 1891, positioned at an angle to Corbally Road and set back within its own grounds.

The building is a long two-storey structure with gabled ends and a central rear return. The main entrance, facing north, is marked by a central pedimental feature with a semi-circular recessed date panel inscribed 'Corbally House 1891'. The north elevation is eight windows wide. The roof is laid in Bangor blue slates in regular courses, with four yellow brick chimneys featuring cornices: one at each end gable and two at intermediate positions along the ridge. Yellow tiles cap the gable copings.

The walls are smooth cement rendered with raised quoins to the extremities and a projecting plinth. A projecting eaves course incorporates a course of notched brickwork. The windows are rectangular timber sliding sash, vertically hung with 1 over 1 lights and horns, featuring exposed sash boxes and projecting stone cills. Window surrounds are moulded, rectangular on the first floor and segmental arched on the ground floor with painted wooden tympana. The main doorway is an eight-panel rectangular timber door set in a moulded timber frame with a raised moulded rendered surround and a cornice over, incorporating a rendered notched brick frieze. Moulded cast iron gutters with two cast iron downpipes run from each extremity of the pediment.

The north and south gables of the main block are blank: the north gable is rendered with wet dash, the south as the entrance front. A single storey rubble stone outbuilding projects north from the north gable, roofed with asbestos slates.

The rear elevation to the left of the rear return has two windows on each floor, sashed as the entrance front and set in rectangular surrounds. Walling here is rendered with wet dash and raised quoins. The rear elevation to the right of the return features one window per floor, consisting of modern rectangular timber fixed lights with top-hung vents, with smooth cement rendered walling and PVC rainwater goods. Two ledged timber doors are present. The rear return is rendered with wet dash without quoins at corners, with a chimney on the gable apex. The first floor of the gable contains two small windows: one sashed 1 over 1 with horns, the other a later timber fixed light replacement with top-hung vent. A single storey open-sided shed with segmental corrugated iron roof projects from the ground floor gable.

The house stands within its own grounds with lawns to the entrance front and around the south gable. Farm buildings of no architectural interest stand to the east. Boundary walling to the roadway is rendered with two gateways: a western gateway to the front garden features square cement rendered piers with chamfered corners and a pair of ornamental wrought iron gates; an eastern gateway leads to the rear yard.

The house was built in 1891, either as a replacement for or enlargement of a previous dwelling shown on Ordnance Survey maps of 1833 and 1858. A small stone trough of square section stands outside the house at the north end of the entrance front, reputedly inscribed 'William Bristow 1738', the date of which has been confirmed by inspection, though the name is obscured by moss.
