146 Portaferry Road, Cunningburn, Newtownards, Co. Down, BT22 2AH

Two storey gabled house situated right on the landward side of the Portaferry Road and possessing a simple rustic appearance which may be indicative of considerable age. Front SW facade has an off centre front doorway with simple surrounds with keystone and ‘side blocks’. The doorway now contains a recently installed panelled and glazed door. To the left of the doorway is a sash window, with a similar window to the right. To the right of this is another similar window and a plain sheeted timber door, both belonging to a single storey gabled section attached to the SE gable. There are three windows as before to the first floor of the front facade of the main house. The SE gable is blank as is the gable of the single storey section attached to the ground floor. The rear of the roof of the main house slopes further at the rear to incorporate a single storey section which covers almost all of the rear elevation. This rear facade has a central timber sheeted door and tiny window to the immediate left of the door. Attached to the SE side of the rear single storey section and to the rear of the gabled single storey section on the SE gable, is a small lean to shed like structure which merges with a larger gable outbuilding to the NE. The main house gable to the NW has a sash window to the right on the first floor and a double sash window to the left on the ground floor. To the right of this is a lean to store with large flat arch doorway opening on the NE side. The SW side of this lean to is hidden behind a high rendered wall which is flush with the front facade. The entire facade is covered in rough cast render. All of the roofs of the house, including the lean to sections, are covered with local rough hewn ‘Tullycavey’ slate, with three rendered chimney stacks to the main roof and one to the gable of the single storey section to the SE.
