Reformed Presbyterian Church, Regent Street, Newtownards, Co. Down, BT23 4LH

Relatively small and simple two storey gabled church at the E end of the S side of Regent Street. Front (N) gable has a fairly recent (1970s) gabled porch projection with central timber sheeted double doors set in a segmental arch recess. To the left of this is a modern window with similar arch head and modern frame. Three similar windows to the right the 3rd of which is located with a flat roofed section to the W side of the porch. The porch gable has a high level roundel plaque which reads ‘Reformed Presbyterian Church 1854’ (the date in which the building was bought from the Methodists). Raised PVC letters below roundel and Reformed Presbyterian banner symbol in PVC above. The E face of the porch has a squat modern window to the side, than those to the front. The exposed section of the N gable of the main section of the church is blank with plain outer pilasters, narrow parapet and tall pyramidal pinnacles to gable apex and ends of gable. The E facade has 6 semicircular headed windows to the ground floor with a similar shaped doorway (with timber sheeted door and semicircular fanlight) between 1st and 2nd windows. To the first floor are seven similar (but much shorter) windows. All windows have modern frames. It is difficult to observe the W facade as it abuts the neighbouring buildings. Judging from the interior, however, this facade would appear to be blank. The rear of the church merges with the terrace in Lower Mary Street. The front and E facades are finished in lined and painted render. The roof is covered in Bangor blue slates. Velux window to E side. PVC rw goods. Rendered wall to front.
