Eusemere, 20-22 Killinchy Road, Comber, County Down, BT23 5LU

Eusemere is a typically complex two and a half storey Edwardian villa of circa 1909, designed in a free style that incorporates elements of both Arts and Crafts and Domestic Revival. The building is located to the east of Killinchy Road, approximately one kilometre south of Comber town centre, set within relatively large grounds.

The exterior walls are constructed from artificial rock face stone with smooth dressings and string courses, which probably enclose a brick structure beneath. The roofs combine gable and hip forms with overhangs and are covered in natural slate. Exposed rafter ends are typical of the Edwardian period, and the many tall chimney stacks are finished in matching artificial stone with projecting cope stones and pots.

The main entrance is located within a projecting two storey bay on the west façade, positioned to the right of centre. This bay features an asymmetric cat slide gable and contains a timber panelled door with a central leaded glazed light, above which is a projecting bracketed semicircular canopy. Above the door is a paired sash window, and above this a projecting bracketed stone string course. To the left of the bay is a two storey corner window lighting the stair. The west side of the bay contains a mullioned and transomed nine light Venetian-style window (a free interpretation) with leaded glass that is mainly obscure, featuring some Art Nouveau references in the lead work.

To the ground floor of the west façade, left of the bay, are two narrow sash windows without astragals, with two similar but wider windows further left. The section of wall furthest left is set back slightly and largely obscured by climbing plants. To the first floor are four similar but unevenly spaced windows. Above this section is a wide flat roofed dormer. The front façade recesses to the left, and on the resulting north face is a Diocletian window set within a small first floor gable. The lower portion of this north face is covered with plant growth.

A low two storey wing extends to the far left (north) of the main west façade. This wing has a projecting porch bay on its west front with a central half glazed door with leaded panes. To the left is a screen wall enclosing a small yard and mono-pitch roofed store. The main south façade features a canted two storey bay with sash windows to each face and a hipped roof. To the left are modern French doors with an elliptical fanlight in a square headed opening, with a single sash window above. A flat roofed dormer with five windows in two groupings (three and two) separated by a wide mullion sits above the bay roof.

The main east façade has a projecting square two storey reducing bay to the left of centre. The ground floor contains three evenly spaced sash windows to the front and one matching but narrower window to each side reveal. The bay features a bracketed string course at the flat roof edge. A narrower and shallower second floor bay (not original) contains a paired sash window with single sash windows to the side reveals. Directly above is a flat roofed dormer with double paired sash windows separated by a wide mullion. To the left of the bay is a centred paired sash window to ground and a right of centre sash window to first floor. To the right of the bay is a canted oriel window to first floor with pierless casement windows following the line of the chamfer. Below this oriel is a projecting conservatory.

The east face of the north wing contains two oriel windows at first floor, which appear not to be original. The lefthand oriel is a straightforward canted example with sash windows to each face featuring leaded panes to the upper light. The right oriel has a wider front face and features pierless casement windows as before. To the ground floor right of the conservatory are four unevenly spaced sash windows. The north face of the return is blank and gabled.

The north side of the main façade has a mullioned and transomed six light window with leaded glass. The second floor of the bay has one small centrally placed window. To the right of the bay roof is a tall three pot chimney stack.
