Lisnacreevey House, 80 Lisnacroppin Road, Rathfriland, Co Down, BT34 5NZ

Lisnacreevey House is a detached, asymmetrical four-bay two-storey rendered house with attic, built around 1820. It features a full-height canted bay window and is positioned on an elevated mature site on the south side of Lisnacroppin Road.

The house is U-shaped in plan facing east, with a southernmost bay added around 1850 and a pair of gabled rear projections added around 1860. The pitched natural slate roof is hipped to the south with black clay ridge tiles and three rendered chimneysstacks topped with octagonal clay pots. The canted bay has a hipped natural slate roof with rolled lead ridges. Replacement plastic rainwater goods run along the rendered eaves course throughout.

The walling is smooth cement rendered with a recessed smooth rendered plinth course. Window openings are square-headed with granite sills and replacement 6/6 timber sash windows throughout, except where noted. The front elevation is four windows wide, abutted by an off-centre full-height canted bay window, and has granite flagstones lining the plinth. An elliptical-headed door opening contains a replacement tripartite timber doorcase inserted around 1980, with webbed fanlight and tracery sidelights. This door opens onto a granite platform with a wrought-iron bootscraper to the front gravel area.

The south side elevation is four windows wide, with late twentieth-century single-storey extensions abutting it. The top right window opening has a timber Wyatt window. To the left is a single-bay single-storey side entrance porch with hipped slate roof, replacement sash window, and replacement timber panelled door opening onto a short flight of granite steps.

The rear elevation comprises two full-height gabled projections at either end with a recessed rear elevation two windows wide forming a small rear patio with clay tiles. The recessed section has a stair hall window and an enlarged ground floor opening with replacement timber French doors. The southern projection has a diminutive first floor window with replacement 4/4 timber sash window and a further replacement 6/6 timber sash stair hall window. The north gabled projection is surmounted by a rendered chimneystacck and has a replacement timber Wyatt window at ground floor and two attic windows with replacement 4/4 timber sash windows.

The north side elevation comprises a gable to the left with irregular fenestration and a single-bay section to the right, largely with replacement 6/6 timber sash windows and a later door opening with replacement timber French doors opening onto a granite paved area.

The house sits on an elevated mature site, mainly accessed from the north via a short gravel driveway passing the rear elevation and the first range of outbuildings. The front avenue, recently reinstated, curves north-east through the front garden, opening onto the road via a pair of replacement iron gates supported on angled rendered piers with granite capstones and sweeping rendered walls. A large front garden and two ranges of outbuildings enclose a yard to the rear.
