94 Mountstewart Road, Ballygrangee, Greyabbey, Newtownards, Co. Down, BT22 2ES

Two storey late Victorian gabled farmhouse, dating from the 1880s-90s, situated at the end of a short lane just off the Mountstewart Road, roughly 2 miles north of Greyabbey. The entire house is finished in rough cast render with chamfered quoins to the front and gables. The roofs are covered in Bangor blue slates with two brick chimney stacks to the gables of the main house and one to the gable of the return. PVC rainwater goods are fitted throughout.

The front south elevation is symmetrical and features a central timber glazed door with a plain fanlight, all enclosed by fluted pilasters, a frieze lintel, cornice and curved blocking course. To the left of the doorway is a modern two-pane timber window with a simple moulded surround and keystone; a similar window is positioned to the right. The first floor has a set of paired windows to the left and right with a single window in the centre, all set within segmental arch-headed openings. The window frames are similar to the ground floor with comparable simple moulding and keystone detail.

The west gable has a window to the left on the ground floor, as on the front, with a similar but smaller window directly above on the first floor. The east gable features a small store with a mono-pitched roof attached to the ground floor, adjoining a long farm building which runs at a right angle to the house. Above this, a window similar to those on the west gable is positioned on the first floor to the right.

The rear of the property has a full-height gabled return with various modern timber windows with smooth cement surrounds, and a tall but narrow lean-to extension attached to its gable. The rear of the main house has a ground floor window, as on the front but with a simple smooth cement surround, to the left of the return. To the right of the return on the main house is a timber and glazed rear door.

Large farm buildings are present to the east and north of the house.

A building with a return is shown on this site on the Ordnance Survey map of 1834, along with farm buildings to the east. The house as it exists today, characterised by its segmental arch-headed windows to the upper floor and moulded window and door surrounds, appears to date from the latter half of the nineteenth century, probably the 1880s or 1890s.

On the opposite side of the Mountstewart Road is a large modernised gabled dwelling known as Ballygrangee House, which appears to be possibly older than this property and may have been locally important at one time. This dwelling is also shown on the 1834 map, with a small plantation to the east of the property.
