The Albany, Ballywalter Park, Springvale, Ballywalter, Newtownards, Co. Down, BT22 2PP

The Albany is a long, relatively plain two-storey gabled building dating from the 1860s–70s, built to house the servants and grooms of guests staying at Ballywalter Park. It stands a short distance to the north of the main house, roughly half a mile south of Ballywalter.

The building features a slated gabled roof with rendered parapets and four rendered chimney stacks. The exterior is mainly finished in plain render, though most of the lean-to section has a brick façade.

The long south-facing front elevation is asymmetrical and dominated by a series of large full-height segmental arch recesses, some of which are linked. Three of the recesses contain timber-sheeted entrance doors, while the other recesses contain single sash windows with horizontal astragals and vertical margin astragals to the top sashes. The window to the far right features wrought iron bars in front of it. The first floor contains sash windows with segmental arch heads, vertical and margin astragals, also set within the recesses.

The east gable incorporates a set of stone steps leading to a doorway at first floor level. A long lean-to single-storey section runs the full length of the rear (north elevation), appearing to be divided into a number of store houses with various plain timber doorways and some small windows. The small portion of the lean-to to the far right (west) is slightly taller than the remainder and features two larger sash windows. Adjacent to the west gable is a long line of plain dog kennels.

The building was probably built by Andrew Mulholland around the 1860s to house servants, grooms and other staff attending to guests at Ballywalter Park. It is now largely unused.
