6a Cunningburn Road, Cunningburn, Newtownards, Co Down, BT22 2AR

Cunningburn Mill is a group of houses picturesquely situated in a hollow roughly 1 mile NW of the Mount Stewart estate. Some of the houses are converted mill related buildings and almost all have been renovated/converted recently. No.6a is mainly two storey and is attached (at the rear) at a right angle to the SW end of the former scutching mill. It was originally a flax store and, like the other buildings, is rubble built and unrendered. Its front SW facade has a central timber and glazed door with a single casement window (as previous house) to the left and right. To the first floor are three evenly spaced similar, but smaller, windows. The SE gable has two casement windows to the ground floor and a larger similar window to the centre of the first floor. The NW gable has a glazed door to the ground floor right, with a casement window (as before) to the left. The left side of this gable merges a single storey gabled section (which is the SW end of the single storey former scutch mill section beyond the ‘car’ arch opening of House No.4). The NW face of this section has a French door, whilst the SE (‘front’) face has a casement window, as previous. The roof of the two storey section is gabled, pitched and covered in Bangor blue slates, as is the roof to the single storey section. There are three Velux windows to the SW face of the roof to the two storey section. This roof also has two small rubble built chimney stacks. Cast iron rw goods.
