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

Two storey terrace block with house and shop, probably built c.1780. Front N facade has a central panelled door with fanlight and sidelights with decorative tracery. To the right are paired sash windows. To the right of the doorway is a shop front, consisting of a recessed glazed door and large fixed light shop window (and fixed light ‘inner’ window). The frame of this window appears to be relatively old, possibly early twentieth century. To the first floor) are three large tripartite sash windows with Georgian panes. The entire front facade is finished in lined render and painted. The area around the shop as its own painting scheme, with the shop name painted above the window. The rear of No 15 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 has modern windows. Access was denied to the rear of No 17 and it was impossible to observe it due to the close proximity of the return to the rear of its neighbour, however, from what was observed inside the house there was a sash window to the stairwell (to the landing just below the first floor). The roof of the entire block is gabled and covered in concrete pan tiles, with a small cast iron skylight to front. Two rendered chimney stacks. Cast iron rw goods.
