Description

A two-storey, three-bay formalised vernacular farmhouse. The two bays to the right appear to be the original single-storey dwelling, with the third bay added subsequently. All bays are approximately the same width.

The pitched natural slate roof has a flush verge with cement skews and traditional eaves detail. The slates are very small and thick, fixed with wooden pegs according to the owner. Rustic brick chimneys rise from both gables and from the ridge one-third of its length from the left-hand gable, without pots. The ridge is finished in terracotta tiles, the verges are raised in concrete, and the eaves project with an additional projecting course and moulding below, broken over the windows. Galvanised metal half-round gutters on brackets drain the roof.

The façades are whitewashed lime rendered; the gables are cement rendered. The principal elevation faces North. To the left, closer to the front door than to the gable, is a 1/1 tripartite sliding sash window with third-width sashes either side of the main window, featuring exposed reeded boxes and painted concrete sills. To the left of centre, near the original dwelling's gable, stands the entrance door: a timber four-panelled door with bolection moulding, painted, flanked by narrow 1/1 sliding sash windows with sills. Above the door is a quartered semi-circular fanlight with curved side transoms. A concrete step leads to the door, and the first-floor edge is visible through the fanlight. To the right, at some distance from the door, is another window matching those on the ground floor. Ground-floor window sills are set at a very low level. At first-floor level are three 6/3 sliding sashes aligned with the ground-floor openings, with exposed boxes but no sills.

To the extreme right, abutting the gable, is a single-storey cement-rendered garage with a flat roof and two timber ledged, braced and battened sliding doors.

The left (East) gable is cement rendered with a modern timber top-hung window at first-floor level. A rainwater hopper sits towards the front at eaves level without a downpipe; a soil vent pipe and drainpipes adjoin it.

The rear elevation faces South. At the left, the blank rear wall of the garage abuts the gable. To the left of the house elevation is a square opening with a modern timber window featuring two top-hung lights over a single lower pane. Next is the rear door of timber, painted and ledged, braced and battened. A paired 1/1 sliding sash window with exposed boxes follows, with the right-hand window centred over that on the ground floor. Sill levels are higher at the rear than at the front. At first-floor level, all windows are 1/1 timber sliding sashes with concrete sills. The left window is centred over its ground-floor counterpart; the next window sits over the rear door and is lower than the others; the right window is positioned to the right of that below. The right (West) gable is abutted by the garage, with blank cement-rendered wall above.

The front of the house is approached via a concrete paved roadway to the farmyard past the East gable. This laneway forms the approach from the road and continues as an unmetalled track through fields. A small field lies across this lane, beyond which are trees on the banks of the River Lagan. To the rear is a concrete yard enclosed by a steep bank rising to a small field.
