28 Cushenny Road, Grange, Portadown, Co.Armagh, BT63 4JF

The house occupies a roadside position facing west on a secondary road that travels northwards from the main road from Loughgall to Portadown. There is a small garden in front of the right hand section of the building accessed by means of a single hoop-iron gate. The wall construction is of clay with a whitened finish. The entrance door, now covered with a sheet of hardboard, is recessed in a shallow lean-to windbreak porch that is roofed with natural slate. Rainwater goods are of pressed metal. The door retains a modern chrome finished postal flap and there is a modern external light above. The door frame is beaded and the plaster finish of the jambs continues to provide a small plinth to the porch. There are three windows to the right of the porch overlooking the small garden area. These are blocked and sealed at present but remain intact internally. They are of the vertically-sliding type, with sashes divided into two horizontally, and the openings reduce in size moving towards the right hand extremity. To the left of the porch a further similar vertically sliding window is of relatively larger dimensions. A buttress finished with natural slate projects at the left hand extremity of the front elevation. The roof is of thatch covered with corrugated sheeting and rainwater goods are of pressed metal fixed to a beaded fascia at front and direct to the wall surface at the rear. A chimney stack rises on the left hand gable and there is a further stack left of centre over the position of the kitchen hearth. The stacks are both of red brick and finished with corbel coursing. This is decayed on the gable stack. There are three courses in contrasting brick on the other chimney. The north gable is blank without fenestration. At the rear outbuildings extend eastwards at right angles from the north end and the elevation continues with a small window opening, now blocked. This is followed by a flush door and a vertically sliding window with sash stops. The upper sash is divided into two horizontally. The lower sash is plain. This elevation is completed by the insertion of a modern metal framed window. The south gable contains a modern metal framed window.
