7 Kearney Village, Kearney Road, Kearney, Portaferry, Co Down, BT22 1QP

7 Kearney Village is a small single-storey vernacular cottage with an attic, of probable pre-1834 construction, featuring a distinctive two-level stepped roof. The building is situated in the north-east corner of Kearney Village, approximately three miles east of Portaferry, near the shoreline.

The front south-east elevation is asymmetrical. To the left of centre is a timber stable door with a small glazed section to the upper half. To the left of the door is a sash window with Georgian panes, with a slightly narrower similar window to the right of the door and an even narrower window to the far right. A similar but broader window appears to the left on the north-east gable. The south-west gable has a small sash window and an attic window with vertical astragals. The rear elevation contains a narrow window to the left (similar to that at the far right of the front), a similar but broader window to the right of this, a small square window further to the right, and a window matching the north-east gable at the far right.

The entire house, including the exposed gable section between the upper and lower roof levels, is finished in roughcast render. The roofs are gabled and covered with Bangor blue slates. Stone parapets run along the roofline, with two rendered chimney stacks. Cast iron gutters and downspouts are present, along with small cast iron skylights in the front and rear of the upper roof section.

A building matching the size and siting of the present house appears on the Ordnance Survey map of 1834 and on all subsequent maps. It is probable that the building shown in 1834 is substantially the same as what survives today. The property has group value as part of Kearney Village, a settlement that reached its greatest extent around the 1830s when it contained 33 families, two schools, and a ceilidh house. The village was later acquired by the National Trust and has since been restored based on the 1834 layout.
