10 Trench Road, Ringneill, Comber, Co Down, BT23 6EH

10 Trench Road is a long single-storey farmhouse of pre-1834 origin, situated on a hilltop at the end of a winding lane north of the Trench Road, approximately 3 miles north of Killinchy. The house commands spectacular views of Strangford Lough.

The building exemplifies traditional vernacular architecture. The north-facing front facade comprises two distinct sections. The original section, located to the left of centre, features a stable door and four evenly spaced small windows with PVC frames and simulated Georgian panes, all beneath a thatched roof. To the left of this is a partly glazed door with three unevenly spaced windows, marking the converted byre section which was formerly separated from the dwelling house but is now integrated into it. The east gable contains a window and a similar attic window directly above. The west gable is blank. The rear elevation displays eight unevenly spaced windows of various sizes, predominantly small. Between the fifth and sixth rear windows sits a small flat-roofed porch with a timber-sheeted door facing east and a small fixed-light window facing south. The entire facade is finished in rough cast. The roof is gabled, with the original section thatched and the former byre section covered in Bangor blue slates. Three short rendered chimney stacks project from the roof. PVC rainwater goods have been installed.

A long line of single-storey outbuildings extends to the west, some of which were formerly dwellings.

A building of matching size and location appears on the Ordnance Survey map of 1834, though it is not recorded in the contemporary valuation. A printed sale poster dated May 1841 indicates the lease was marketed by then-resident James Dalzell. By the 1861 valuation, the property had been divided into two separate holdings, occupied by James Savan and William McCully, with Dalzell (or a relative) named as immediate lessor. The rateable values were recorded as £1-5-0 and 10/- respectively, indicating the properties were of unequal size.

The building's vernacular character is compromised by the inclusion of PVC windows throughout.
