9 Derryloughan Road, The Diamond, Loughgall, Co. Armagh, BT61 8PH

A single storey, four bay, lobby entry house with corrugated iron roof covering over remains of thatch and harled and whitened mud walls. The house is accessed by turning in a southerly direction off the Portadown/Moy road about four miles from the outskirts of the former town. A further mile is travelled to reach the Diamond. No. 1 Derryloughan Road occupies the north-west corner of this crossroads and No 9 is situated a short distance along the road to the west. The house faces south-west overlooking a forecourt. The right-hand (south-east) gable rises to a corbelled chimneystack and there is a further stack over the position of the kitchen hearth. There are no pots. The fascia at the front is serrated, as is the bargeboard that decorates the pitched roof porch. The foursquare porch with timber sheeted half door is flanked to the left (south-west) by one and to the right by three vertically sliding windows with sashes divided into two horizontally and small sash stops. The openings are dressed with plain cement surrounds and sills are of traditional depths. At the rear an extension entered from the kitchen has a wall surface similar to the main house and is roofed with corrugated iron. To the left (south-east) of the extension there are two vertically sliding windows with small sash stops and sills of intermediate depths. The first window is of reduced dimensions with an upper sash divided into two horizontally and with the lower sash plain and equal to one of the upper panes. The other window is similar to those already described at the front. There are no surrounds to these lights. To the right of the extension there are three windows similar to the smaller light on the opposite side. The building extends to the right (south-east) as an outbuilding with rendered wall finish and pitched natural slate roof. Abutting the opposite gable there are a pair of toilets with wall finish similar to the house and with a pitched natural slate roof. Further outbuildings extend towards the road to form one side of the forecourt.
