2 Harker's Hill, Cornascriebe Road, Portadown, BT62 3SS

Small, single-storey vernacular house, with lime washed brick frontage and double-pitched slated roof, one of a short canted row of four similar but non-identical dwellings, all of which appear to be largely of 1871, but with this dwelling, and its immediate neighbour to the west, possibly containing the fabric of a pre-1835 structure. The row, which may have been constructed to house workers employed in a small near by mill, is set at the end of a short country lane and shares a communal ‘yard’ with a contemporary -and generally similar- pair of ‘semi-detached’ dwellings to the north [HB15/04/027E & F]. The lane leading to the houses is located to the east of Cornascriebe Road, roughly 1.4km west of Laurelvale, 3.8km west of Tandragee. This house is to the west of centre of the block and is rectangular in plan. The front (north) wall is constructed in clay brick finished with lime wash, and has a painted ‘plinth’. The rear wall is finished with lined cement render, whilst the roof is double pitched, covered with natural slate and has a small fixed skylight to the south side. Eaves are clipped without overhangs and rainwater goods have been replaced in uPVC. Chimneystacks rise on either side of the ridgeline, both constructed in brick and rendered, with corbelled caps. The front elevation is asymmetrical. To the right side there is a flat-headed door opening with a plain timber sheeted door. To the left there is a flat-headed window opening with a 2/2 timber sash frame; the window sill is painted stone. To either side of the rear southern façade there is a flat-headed window opening; that to the right has a 6/6 sash frame while that to the left is much smaller and has a single light fixed frame.
