16 Raglan Road, Bangor, Co Down, BT20 3TL

16 Raglan Road, Bangor, Co Down is a Grade B2 listed building.

A two-storey villa with attic, built circa 1880, forming the left half of a symmetrical Victorian semi-detached pair. The building has a rectangular floor plan with a rear return and is situated in Bangor West, adjacent to the junction with Downshire Road.

The principal east-facing elevation is characterised by ruled-and-lined stucco rendered walling with a projected plain plinth, string and cill courses, and plain panelling between ground and first floor levels. A dentilled cornice course supports the overhanging eaves. The roof is pitched natural slate with clay ridge tiles and a smooth rendered chimney stack topped with a moulded dentilled cornice and clay pots.

The façade comprises three bays. The left bay contains a single window to each floor. The central bay features a single-storey flat-roofed porch with moulded string and parapet coping. The porch has a principal round-arched entrance on its south face with chamfered reveals and mouldings at impost, arch surround and key block, fitted with a six-panelled replacement timber door and fanlight over. The north face of the porch is blank. The east face contains a tall round-arched window with matching surrounds. Above the porch is a single round-arched window with a rooflight. The right bay is a gabled projecting breakfront with paired windows to each of the two storeys; above these is an attic level featuring decorative timber gable barge board over a pair of diminished round-arched attic windows. All principal windows are 2/2 segmental-arched timber sliding sashes with chamfered plain surrounds and key blocks to ground floor openings.

The west-facing rear elevation is asymmetrical. The left bay comprises a single window to each floor with two rooflights above. The central bay is abutted entirely by a two-storey subservient return with its ridge level below the eaves of the main block and a rooflight above on the main roof. The right bay is blank. The rear return's north face has a timber door to the left and a single window to the right on the ground floor, with two windows to the first floor. Its west gable is blank. The south face of the return comprises two square-headed windows to the ground floor with a continuous cill; on the first floor, a square-headed window appears to the left and a large segmental-arched window with margin panes and coloured glass to the right.

The south elevation is asymmetrically arranged with a two-storey canted bay to the right, featuring windows to each face on each floor. The left bay contains a large square-headed opening with modern timber-framed doors with side and overlights, and a single window to the first floor. The south elevation has a hipped roof with a chimney positioned slightly left of centre halfway up the hip slope and a rooflight behind it.

The front boundary is marked by a rubble masonry wall with yellow brick chamfered piers surmounted by moulded copings, inscribed with "Cortmerron". A large rear garden includes a detached garage rendered with a slate roof, fitted with a timber bi-folding door and timber sliding sash windows. The surrounding area comprises two-storey detached and semi-detached dwellings.
