204 Abbey Road, Ballyfrenis, Millisle, Newtownards, Co. Down, BT22 2DH

The site represents the location of a former single-storey semi-detached house situated on the west side of Abbey Road in the hamlet of Ballyfrenis. The house, likely of mid-19th century origin (approximately 1840-1859), was demolished around 1982 and replaced by a modern dwelling. The adjacent house to the south has been partially demolished. The original cottage had a slated roof, gable ends, and rendered chimneys. It featured rendered and white-painted walls, two double-hung windows with Georgian panes, and a central, sheeted door. A building is depicted on the Ordnance Survey map of 1858-60, which is believed to correspond with the house that was later demolished. Historical records, including Griffith’s valuation for the townland of Ballyfrenis in 1863, document the property. Further information is available from Grace Seymour’s 'Echoes of Millisle and district'.
