26-44 Carnesure Terrace, (Old Ballygowan Road), Carnesure, Comber, Co. Down, BT23 5PE

Carnesure Terrace is a row of terraced dwellings situated on the east side of the northern end of Old Ballygowan Road, southwest of Comber town centre in County Down. The terrace was built around 1904 by John Andrews & Co. to house workers at their nearby spinning mill. It is set in semi-rural surroundings with long rear gardens, trees, and a small stream opposite.

The terrace is divided into three distinct sections. Numbers 30 to 44 form the main body of the building, arranged in handed pairs. Each pair is fronted by a central gabled porch with panelled doors facing north and south leading to their respective properties. The doorways have moulded surrounds with keystones. The gabled west face of each porch contains a pair of semicircular arch-headed window openings with sash frames and linked label moulding above. The porches are roofed with Bangor blue slates and feature decorative shaped barges, small tie-beams, and finials.

The front façade of each house displays two first-floor sash windows with vertical glazing bars and a ground-floor window positioned to either the left or right of the porch. To the rear, each pair has a two-storey gabled return with a door and at least one kitchen window at ground floor, one window near the intersection with the main house, and windows to the first floor of the gable. The main houses have single windows to both ground and first floors at the rear. Rear windows show variation in design with many modern replacements installed, and some kitchen windows have been enlarged. The gabled returns have small single-storey lean-to structures that were formerly outside toilets.

The façade of numbers 30 to 44 is finished in lined render to the front with plain render to the rear. The front is unpainted while a few rear yards are whitewashed. The south gable is rendered. Chamfered quoins mark the southwest corner. The roof is covered in Bangor blue slates with rainwater goods in a mixture of cast iron and PVC, predominantly PVC to the rear. Chimney stacks are rendered. The terrace is built of brick.

Numbers 26 to 28 at the northern end differ significantly. They are slightly smaller and feature different detailing. The front arrangement is broadly similar to numbers 30 to 44 with a central shared gabled porch containing respective doors and gable windows, plus three windows in corresponding positions. However, each front opening is dressed with yellow brick and the rest of the façade is constructed of sandstone rubble. At the rear there is no gabled return, only a single window and door at ground floor and one window at first floor, all with red brick dressings. All window openings have shallow segmental arch heads with sash frames containing Georgian panes. The rear and north gable are also in rubble, though the north gable is untidily patched with red brick approximately along the chimney breast line. The roof is Bangor blue slated with a yellow brick chimney stack to the north. Rainwater goods are a mixture of cast iron and PVC.

Each property has a low rendered front wall, all of which once featured iron railings removed during the Second World War.
