Moss Bank, 56 Ballycreelly Road, Ballycreelly, Comber, Co. Down, BT23 5PX

Moss Bank is a substantial two-storey gentleman farmer's residence dating from around 1850, situated on a slight rise to the west of Ballycreelly Road, approximately 2 miles north of Ballygowan. The house features a hipped roof with a flattened centre and is accompanied by a large complex of outbuildings attached at the rear.

The symmetrical front (east) façade is dominated by a flat-roofed porch at its centre. The porch frontage contains a narrow double door with a plain fanlight, the timber door featuring semicircular arch-headed panels with fan-like spandrels. The door is encased with a simple moulded architrave with keystone. The porch itself has pilaster quoins, a moulded cornice and parapet, and narrow semicircular arch-headed sash windows with simple architraves to both north and south faces. Two steps lead to the doorway. Flanking the porch are large four-pane windows that appear to be sashes but are actually fixed frames. The first floor has three windows of similar size; the two outer windows have sash frames with vertical glazing bars, while the centre window features a double sash frame with semicircular arch heads to the upper panes (the window opening itself being flat). The centre window is set within a marginally projecting bay and all upper floor windows are positioned on a cill course. The front façade has plain pilaster quoins, with rusticated render at ground floor level (excluding the porch) and plain render to the first floor.

The north façade contains a ground floor window (matching the outer first floor windows of the front) on the left, while the south façade has a similar window on the ground floor right, with a sash window with Georgian panes to the first floor left. A single-storey conservatory/greenhouse has been attached to the left on the ground floor, now in poor condition and partly obscured by vegetation. To the left at the rear is a small sash window with Georgian panes to the ground floor and a similar but taller window to the first floor.

To the right of these rear windows is a two-storey gabled return. The north face of this return has a ground floor sash window and a much smaller fixed light single-pane window to the first floor. The rear (west) gable of the return features a small window with a modern frame to the first floor right. The south side of the return is attached to a long two-storey gabled wing with large modern picture windows to its west and east faces. This wing, which may once have served as quarters for servants or farm hands, is now modernised with bedrooms and possibly functions as a self-contained apartment, though access was not gained during the survey. The wing is in turn attached to the south to a large two-storey gabled outbuilding.

The north, south and west façades of the main house are finished in plain render. The roof is covered in Bangor blue slates, as are the return and south wing. Two central chimney stacks rise from the main roof, plainly rendered and corbelled with original octagonal pots. Cast iron rainwater goods are present throughout.
