69 Lisnagade Road, Loughbrickland, Banbridge, Co Down, BT32 3QN

A group of vernacular buildings situated to the west side of Lisnagade Road north of Loughbrickland, built pre-1834 and comprising a single-storey three-bay rubble stone hearth-lobby house, a single-storey four-bay roughcast rendered direct-entry house, a byre, a barn, and associated outbuildings.

The rubble stone house has random rubble walling with a tin roof and raised stone verges with a replacement chimneystack. Rainwater goods are uPVC half-round with timber fascias. Windows are 1/1 timber casements with timber lintels and concrete block sills. The building is rectangular on plan, north-facing, with a projecting catslide porch to the front positioned to the right of centre. The porch has a timber-sheeted entrance door, a window to the right, and two windows to the left. The east gable is blank. The south rear elevation has a window to the left and a further opening to the left (not viewed). The west gable is abutted by a wall and slated canopy connected to the neighbouring roughcast rendered house.

The roughcast rendered house has painted roughcast render on a smooth rendered plinth with quoins, and a pitched natural slate roof with artificial slates to the rear slope and blue/black angled ridge tiles. Chimneystacks are replacement rendered. Cast-iron half-round rainwater goods are fitted. Windows are 1/1 timber sliding sash with projecting sills unless otherwise stated, with replacement timber windows to the rear. The building is north-facing with a replacement timber-sheeted door to the left of centre and a window at either side. An additional bay to the left has a replacement timber-sheeted half-door and a 2/2 timber casement window. The east gable is abutted by a wall and slated canopy connected to the neighbouring rubble stone dwelling. The south rear elevation comprises four replacement windows at various locations and of various sizes. The west elevation is abutted by a single-storey byre.

The byre to the west has a pitched natural slate roof with blue/black angled ridge tiles and two flush rooflights to the left of the north-facing slope. Cast-iron rainwater goods are fitted. Walling is mainly random rubble stone with ashlar quoins, red-brick dressings, and relieving arches. Timber casement windows are present. Timber-sheeted doors are positioned to the left and centre, with two windows to the right of centre (the window to the right is multi-paned). A pair of timber-sheeted doors is positioned to the far right. The east gable is abutted to the adjoining single-storey house. The south rear elevation is blank. The west gable has an opening to the centre at the apex sheeted in corrugated metal.

The rubble stone barn to the northeast of the yard has red-brick quoins and a natural slate roof. The elevations are blank except the west gable, which has a timber-sheeted sliding door with brick infill to the door opening at the centre.

The buildings are closely grouped on a large site accessed via a long lane and surrounded by farmland with a yard to the front. At the entrance to the yard are a pair of original wrought-iron gates on simple stone piers. To the far west of the yard is a modern agricultural shed and rubble stone wall. The site is bounded by mature trees and hedgerow.
