26 Loughries Road, Loughriscouse, Newtownards, Co Down, BT23 3RW

This is a large, two-storey farmhouse likely dating to the late 19th century, though it has undergone modernization and extension. The house is situated just off Loughries Road, approximately two miles east of Newtownards.

The original section of the house faces east. The front facade features a central doorway with a timber panelled door, plain pilasters, and a cornice hood supported by curved brackets. To the left of the doorway are two windows with moulded architraves, keystones, and modern two-pane sashes. A similar window is located to the right of the doorway. Four windows with matching frames and surrounds, but with segmental arch heads, are positioned on the first floor. The south gable is blank and connects with the south facade of a full-height, flat-roofed extension, which incorporates a large, modern first-floor window and a ground-floor doorway with modern glazed double doors. The extension occupies most of the rear of the original house and has additional modern windows on its west and north sides. A timber conservatory with a hipped roof is placed between the intersection of the north side of the extension and the rear of the original house. A slightly shorter, two-storey gabled extension, possibly a converted barn, is attached to the north gable of the original house. This extension has two gabled half-dormers on its north facade and two modern windows on the ground floor. The north gable of the extension features an upper-level doorway with a plain, sheeted timber door, accessible via steps, and a small single-pane window on the first floor. The rear of the extension has two ground-floor doorways, with a modern window positioned next to the doorway on the right. The exterior is finished with a dry dash render, moulded quoins, and a plinth. The main house and the extension have pitched roofs covered in pan tiles, with four yellow brick chimneys on the original house. The window frames are PVC.

An earlier building is shown on Ordnance Survey maps from 1834 and around 1860, but the arch-headed windows, doorway detailing, and yellow brick chimneys suggest that the house was either rebuilt or substantially renovated between 1860 and 1879. The gabled extension to the north appears to have originally functioned as a barn.
