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

A single-storey, three-bay terrace house or cottage built of rubble basalt, forming one of an original block of four similar cottages. The building sits at one end of a terrace consisting of five such blocks, positioned in a rural setting facing the main road but set back slightly, with a tarmac access road and kerbstones separating it from the road. Opposite stands the heavily wooded demesne of Shane's Castle, enclosed by a basalt rubble wall, while the surrounding area comprises agricultural land.

The entrance elevation faces south. The roof is finished in Bangor blue slates laid in regular courses with dark-toned ridge tiles. A single chimney rises from the left-hand gable, constructed of rustic brick (a rebuilding of the original red brick) with a projecting blue-black brick cornice of three courses surmounted by a blocking course of red brick, finished with one pot. The basalt rubble walls feature roughly squared quoins at the left-hand extremity and a projecting brick eaves course. Red brick flat arches head the openings, with block dressings, though the doorway dressings are partly obscured by later cement render. The masonry retains old lime mortar pointing with some later cement repairs. A metal gutter with downpipe runs along the left extremity, set in cast iron at the base.

The entrance front comprises a central doorway flanked by a window on each side. The windows are rectangular timber sliding sashes, 1 over 1 with horns, painted white with exposed sash boxes painted green and projecting painted stone cills. The doorway contains a rectangular sheeted timber door surmounted by a rectangular fanlight of obscured glass in a broad moulded timber frame. It features a modern metal letterbox and handle, with painted stone base blocks to the frame. Black PVC vertical trunking for cables runs to the right of the doorway.

The west elevation is a blank gable of basalt rubble, mostly obscured by rough lime mortar. Smooth rendered strips extend from the eaves to the base of the chimney, with essentially flush verges where the roof slates project slightly, finished with timber kneelers.

The rear elevation is single-storey with slating matching the front. Three original rectangular metal rooflights pierce the roof. The walling is similar to the front except that the lower portion is roughly rendered in lime mortar, with brickwork below the window. Old lime mortar pointing is generally retained on the masonry. A metal gutter and downpipe serve this elevation. A doorway with a small window to its left occupies the rear. The window openings have brick dressings with cement render to the doorway reveals. The window itself is a rectangular timber fixed light in an old moulded timber frame with a recessed cill; a rotting timber cill is superimposed on it. The doorway contains a rectangular sheeted timber door in a broad original moulded frame, fitted with a modern metal handle and flanked by painted stone base blocks.

A gravelled driveway runs along the gable between this house and the adjacent block to the east, leading to a small gravelled area at the rear with a garden beyond, bounded by hedges.
