Oakley, Jackson’s Road, Holywood, County Down, BT18 9EZ

Oakley was a two-story house with an attic, last used as an Officers' Mess. The building has been demolished, and the site is now a grassy area behind soldiers' accommodation. The roof was hipped and slated, with rendered and moulded chimneys. The walls were rendered, lined and painted. The eaves featured a consoled cornice and a panelled frieze. The ground floor had a channel jointed sill course with pilaster quoins, a triglyph frieze, and a cornice. The ground floor also included a bevel base and a sill course.

The front of the building had two recent square dormers and metal casements. The first floor had two double-height windows with horizontal astragals, a moulded architrave, and a central double-height window with horizontal astragals. The second floor had five-pane windows with a moulded architrave and keystone on pilaster jambs, with decorative brackets below the cornice band and frieze. The ground floor featured twin double-height windows without astragals, plain pilaster jambs, and a mullion with decorative brackets below a corniced hood with a frieze.

A projecting porch, located below the central ground floor window, had a frieze lintel, an eaves cornice, a moulded blocking course carried on square corner columns and antae, and corner Doric columns framing the doorway. The doorway was approached by four steps with side kerbs, and the sides of the porch had double-height windows without astragals, with a segmental head, keystone, moulded architrave, and shouldered and heeled detailing. The northwest front had three recent dormers and a projecting central bay with a ground floor arch featuring a frieze, cornice, and panelled parapet, echoing the details of the southwest front.

The interior featured decorative plasterwork, marble fireplaces, a cast-iron balustrade staircase. The main southwest front measured approximately 50 feet. The building was described as being in fair condition. The likely date of construction is the mid-19th century.
