1 Derryloughan Road, Loughgall, Co. Armagh, BT61 8PH

A single storey, six bay, dual lobby entry thatched house of plastered and whitened mud wall construction with a black base at the front and left hand (west) gable. The house, situated at the Diamond, faces south at the north–west corner of an intersection of a minor road with the road that travels in a southerly direction from the main Portadown/Moy road. The house is located about four miles from Portadown. The thatch roof covering is retained between raised parapet gables, exposed scollops form a pattern at the ridge and there is a further row of scallops below this feature. The eaves that are square cut do not have exposed scollops. A plain plastered chimney rises from beside the left hand (west) gable and there are similar features over the position of the two main hearths. All of the windows on the front elevation of the building are 6/6 vertically sliding with splayed sash stops and sills of traditional depth. There are three entrances and eight window openings arranged as follows from the left hand (west) corner: - Three windows followed by a curved jamb windbreak porch protected by an extension of the thatched covering and entered by a timber sheeted half door. This is followed by three more windows, a timber sheeted door and two windows on either side of a curved jamb windbreak porch protected by an extension of the thatch and with a timber sheeted half door. A VR post box is set into the wall to the right of the entrance that lacks a windbreak porch. A painted timber sign over this entrance is inscribed “DAN WINTER, Grocer, Spirit Merchant, Tobacconist”. To the right of the first windbreak porch there occurs a blue-coloured plaque inscribed “Dan Winter’s Cottage 1795”. The seven windows on the rear elevation are all 6/6 vertically sliding with splayed sash stops but without sills. They vary in size and in levels as follows starting from the right hand (west) corner: - Two windows at a lower level, two somewhat higher and another similar in form at the other side of a timber sheeted door. There is a window at a lower level and one at the general higher level before finishing with another timber-sheeted door. There are no openings in the gables.
