20-22 Main Street, Greyabbey, Newtownards, Co. Down, BT22 2NE

A single storey corner terrace block consisting of a house and shop, probably built before 1834. The building is situated on the north-west side of Main Street, Greyabbey, at the junction with the Newtownards Road.

The block has been substantially modernised in recent years with the introduction of PVC windows and doors and hipped roof dormers. No.20 has a facade finished entirely in limestone chip render with a chamfered plinth to the front. The gabled roof is covered with asbestos cement slates and has two recently renovated hipped roof dormers with Chinese temple-style roofs. Two-pane PVC windows serve the dormers, with a Velux window positioned to their left. A single rendered chimney stack rises from the main roof.

The asymmetrical front facade of No.20 faces south-east towards Main Street. A PVC door with a plain semicircular fanlight, framed by plain pilasters and moulded surround, sits slightly right of centre, accessed by a stone step. To the left of the door is a two-pane PVC window with a narrow smooth cement surround. To the right is a similar window alongside a square fixed light shop window. A timber and concrete bench for public use sits on the pavement below the shop window. A single storey gabled return with PVC windows extends to the rear of No.20.

No.22 is finished in roughcast render. The upper level roof of the entire block belongs to No.20 and is covered with similar asbestos slates, featuring two Velux windows. The roof ridge, including the elevation to Main Street, appears to have been raised slightly to provide greater headroom at upper level, resulting in an asymmetric exposed north-west gable showing signs of upward extension. A PVC casement window serves the upper level of this gable, with PVC rainwater goods throughout.

The shop door of No.22 is positioned on the angled corner and resembles No.20's doorway but features a partly glazed modern door. Internally illuminated PVC Coca Cola signs hang above the door (one projecting), with smaller steel signs flanking it. The north-east elevation of No.22, facing the Newtownards Road on a rise, has a square fixed light window on the south-east side. Evidence of two further smaller windows to the right survives as blocked openings with visible sills. Various PVC and steel signs occupy the far left of this elevation, at least one internally illuminated.

Buildings are shown on this site on the 1834 Ordnance Survey map, likely corresponding to those visible today. A photograph of Main Street dating from around 1920 shows No.20 without dormers and No.22 (then a house) retaining its full complement of unblocked windows.
