‘The Burn’, 11 Tullynagee Road, Drumhirk, Comber, Co. Down, BT23 5NJ

This is a small, plain, one-and-a-half storey farm house located on a hillside to the west of Tullynagee Road, approximately two miles south of Comber, County Down. The building likely originated before 1833 but was probably radically renovated in the early 1900s, with the front facade possibly being completely rebuilt at that time.

The front (west) facade features a centrally positioned modern glazed door with a plain fanlight. To the left of the door are two sets of paired sash windows, and a further pair to the right. The north gable has two small attic sash windows, while the south gable has two similarly sized windows with modern frames. The rear of the house has two doors; the first, leading to a small storeroom, is sheeted timber with a glazed panel, and the second, leading to the kitchen, is a circa 1950s part-glazed door. To the right of this rear door is a small casement window, followed by a large sash window with vertical glazing bars, and a smaller sash window at the far right. The front and rear facades are finished in rough cast rendering, with the gables rendered with lined render and chamfered quoins. The roof is covered in Bangor blue slates, with three rendered chimney stacks. Two small cast iron skylights are located on the rear roof slope. The rainwater goods are made of PVC. Outbuildings are situated to the north of the house. Rear and gable walls appear to be built primarily of thick rubble, in contrast to the brick construction of the front facade.

A building is depicted on Ordnance Survey maps from 1834 and 1858, and the 1834 valuation records indicate it was then in the possession of a John McKee. Although a valuation map for 1863 is missing, the house appears to have remained within the wider McKee family. The present owners' father-in-law, who acquired the property in 1907, is believed to have undertaken renovations shortly afterward, likely resulting in the reconstruction of the visible front facade with its regular paired window openings and brickwork. Interior details similarly appear to be largely from the early 20th century.
