15 Bow Street, Donaghadee, Co Down, BT21 0HD

15 Bow Street, Donaghadee is an early two-storey terrace block combining house and shop, probably built around 1780. The building is shown occupied on Daniel De la Cherois's map of circa 1780, and writing discovered on an upper floor wall (now covered) bears the date 1786, suggesting the Bow Street terrace section dates from circa 1770–80.

The north-facing front facade is finished in lined render and painted. The entrance comprises a central panelled door with fanlight and sidelights featuring decorative tracery. To the right of the doorway is a shop front consisting of a recessed glazed door, large fixed light shop window, and fixed light inner window; the frame appears to be relatively old, possibly early twentieth century. The shop area has its own painting scheme with the shop name painted above the window. To the right are paired sash windows on the ground floor. The first floor contains three large tripartite sash windows with Georgian panes—a fairly rare survival on the front facade.

The rear is dominated by a long single-storey gabled return which culminates in a two-storey gabled section. This large return appears to have been altered in recent times and contains modern windows. Inside the house, a sash window serves the stairwell at the landing just below first floor level.

The roof of the entire block is gabled and covered in concrete pan tiles, with a small cast iron skylight to the front. Two rendered chimney stacks and cast iron rainwater goods complete the external features.

The home bakery section was originally part of the house but appears to have operated as a shop for most of the twentieth century at least. Valuation records of circa 1836 record the property then as a simple house in possession of Mrs Wallace, commanding a substantial rateable value of £10.
