16 New Road, Donaghadee, County Down, BT21 0DR

This is a large, two and a half storey Edwardian free style terrace house, part of a distinctive asymmetric block of around 1905 designed by James A. Hanna. The terrace contains three dwellings and displays the characteristic Hannaesque mixture of canted bays with scalloped parapets, half dormer gables, and prominent chimneys, all executed in brick, stone and rough cast. The property occupies the west end of the terrace on the south side of New Road at its east end, adjacent to Warren Road.

Unlike its neighbours (nos. 12 and 14), this property is larger, constructed on a double pile plan, and of more complex, less traditional design. While the neighbouring properties feature decorative scalloped parapets and battered half-dormers, this house has a simpler treatment, making it somewhat less decorative than its companions.

The front elevation facing north is asymmetrical. To the right is a set-back portion (the rear pile), with a two storey lean-to projection on its north face housing the entrance porch. The front door is panelled and partly glazed, topped with a plain fanlight. The first floor of the lean-to is blank. Its west face contains a tall mullioned and transomed casement window to ground floor and a very short casement to first floor.

The front pile to the left has a gabled north face. To ground floor is a large casement window with a similar window to first floor. A mullioned Venetian window sits in the centre of the large attic floor gable. The west face of this pile has a wide casement to the left side at first floor (the right side is abutted by the lean-to), with a similar but narrower window to first floor. To the gable is a large semicircular attic window.

The west face of the rear pile features a totally glazed, canted flat-roofed single storey bay at ground floor. To first floor is a casement window, and to the second floor gable a similar but narrower window.

The south elevation includes a large lean-to conservatory to the left of ground floor, and a large two storey return to the right (which merges with that of no. 14 to form a large gabled return). To the rear façade of the main house, left of the return, is a 2/2 sash window at first floor with another directly above at attic level, partly set within a relatively large gable. Left of these windows is a projecting chimney breast rising through both upper floors, breaking through the eaves to a tall brick chimney stack. To the right side of the west face of the return is a timber and glazed door with sidelight. The first floor left side has a small sash window close to the eaves. The ground floor south face of the return is obscured by a recent single storey extension, with a sash window at first floor.

The facade is finished in brick at ground floor level and rough cast to the upper levels, partly covered in creeper growth. The slated roof has a slight overhang with plain barges and exposed rafter ends. Two tall chimney stacks are present, that to the east rendered, that to the south in brick. A Velux window lights the return.
