Two storey International Style house of 1936 by Philip Bell set on a slight rise on the S side of Whiterock Bay (road) overlooking Strangford Lough, roughly a mile W of Killinchy. This house is roughly square in plan and ‘cubist’ in form with a full height projecting bay to front and lower projecting section at the rear. The entrance is located roughly in the centre of the front N facade and consists of the original glazed door with steps and flat roofed open porch supported on a single thin metal pole. Directly above this is a small porthole window with two square windows (one to each floor) to the right. To the left is the projecting bay with large corner windows to each floor and another square-ish window to the first floor only. The W facade a small single storey projection to the left with flat roof and glazed door to the right of this at an intermediate level is a small window. The right hand portion of this facade is lower. This lower portion follows through to the rear where it projects from the main body of the house. This section of the facade has a single high level window. To the right of this section (on the main body of the house) are large corner windows (to far right). The space between the projection and the main body of the house is filled with a ramshackle car port. The facade is finished in rough cast and painted. The roofs are flat with large overhangs. Metal and PVC rw goods. The window frames are all timber replacements. Rendered chimney stack to E, other stack to W has been removed. This house was originally one of four built to compliment the adjacent Strangford Lough Yacht Club. However, two of its companions have since been unsympathetically altered and the yacht club has been replaced with a contemporary clubhouse.
