19 Old Lurgan Road, Bocombra, Portadown, Co. Armagh, BT63 5SG

Description at 08.08.2014 The site is now surrounded by a 2m high timber fence and the former house has largely collapsed such that the floor plan and individual elements are difficult to discern. What remains is covered with vegetation. Description at 18.08.2003 A single storey, five bay, lobby entry thatched house with cube porch and roughcast external finish. The house faces north-east at the end of a short driveway that leaves the Old Lurgan Road a little over a mile from the centre of Portadown. The remains of the thatch is contained within concrete parapet gables. Both chimneystacks have collapsed. One rose from the right hand (north-west) gable and the other served the kitchen hearth. The entrance is by means of a four-panelled door, with five pane sidelights, that opens on the north-west side of a projecting porch. The wall finish of the porch is roughcast to match the house, dressings are of smooth cement and the roof covering is of corrugated iron finished with a three tier concrete cornice including a ball finial at the north-west corner. At the front the porch has the remains of a 2/4 vertically sliding window with curved sash stops and a deep sill. To the left of the porch there is one, and to the right there are three 6/6 vertically sliding windows with chamfered sash stops, smooth cement dressings and sills of traditional depths. At the rear starting from the left (north-west) corner there is a 6/6 vertically sliding window with moulded sash stops and no sill followed by two 6/3 vertically sliding windows with moulded sash stops the first without a sill and the second with a sill and finally a 6/6 vertically sliding window with curved sash stops and a sill. A short lead–covered link on the south–west corner of the house gives access to a one and a half storey kitchen extension. The roof is pitched and covered with natural slate, the chimney is of corbelled brick, the entrance door on the south-east side is timber framed, ledged, braced and sheeted and there are windows on all four sides with those on the north-west and south east sides at upper level.
