6 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 pair of matching dwellings, which appear to be of 1871. The pair, 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 largely contemporary -and generally similar- row of four dwellings to the south [HB15/04/027A-D]. 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 the westerly of the pair and is roughly square in plan. Walls are constructed in clay brick and finished with lime wash, with a painted ‘plinth’ to front (south). The western gable is rendered. The roof is double pitched, covered with natural slate and has a small fixed skylight to the rear (north) side. Eaves are clipped without overhangs and rainwater goods have been mainly replaced in uPVC. A chimneystack rises on the party wall and is set on the ridgeline; this is constructed in brick, is rendered (although much of this has fallen away) and has a corbelled cap. The chimneystack which would have risen from the western gable has been removed. The front façade is asymmetrical. To the left is a flat-headed door opening with a timber sheeted door. To the right are two flat-headed window openings each with a 2/2 timber sash frame. The gable is devoid of openings. There are two flat-headed openings on the rear façade. That to the left has a 6/6 timber sash frame while that to the right has a fixed two-light timber frame. To the right of centre, what appears to be a former door opening, has been blocked up (with concrete blocks).
