5 Waterloo Park, Belfast, Co. Antrim, BT15 5HU

5 Waterloo Park is a detached five-bay two-storey house built in 1934 to designs by Robert Sharp Hill. Constructed in Modern style, it is built of painted brick on a rectangular plan and stands on a sloping site at the corner of Waterloo Park and Waterloo Park North. The house features an attached garage to the north, a single-storey extension to the east, and a later roof-top extension.

The building has a flat concrete roof with a raised parapet finished with flat concrete coping. The stepped parapet runs along the south and west elevations. Lead box gutters discharge through the parapet to cast-iron painted hoppers and circular downpipes. Two smooth rendered chimneys rise from the second floor roof-top extension, forming the south and west walls of this pavilion.

The south-facing front elevation comprises five bays with curved-plan corners to east and west. The composition includes a set-back second-floor roof-top pavilion, a single-storey bay extending to the west, a recessed entrance lobby, and a first-floor balcony terrace with the garage at lower level to the east. The first-floor balcony has a flat leaded roof supported on circular metal posts on a timber-sheeted curved wall with flat coping. A raised smooth rendered band runs across the south-west bay and forms a header to the garage. Square-headed corner windows appear at ground and first-floor levels at the recessed porch and balcony. The entrance comprises a five-panelled glazed door with horizontal panes, side-lights and fan-light over, all with obscure glazing, approached by a tiled entrance lobby with a single step. Silver lettering "5" marks the entrance at first-floor level. The eastern extension has a corner window and door, whilst the east side elevation is three bays two-storey with a triangular oriel window at first-floor level. The second-floor roof pavilion features a fixed window and sliding door. A single-storey ground-floor extension to the south has a corner window. The north rear elevation is three bays two-storey with a flat roof and raised parapet to the attached garage on the west side, a corner window to the west at first floor, and a fixed window and sliding entrance door to the second-floor roof pavilion. The west side elevation is two bays two-storey with a narrowly set-back first floor and attached garage extending north. A projecting single-storey bay to the south has curved ends and full-width glazing.

Throughout the building, square-headed openings contain painted timber casement windows unless otherwise stated.

The boundary comprises a red brick dwarf wall and hedge to the south, east and west, with hedge to the north. Pairs of red-brick piers on square plan with rendered pyramidal coping support decorative metal gates in geometric pattern at entrances to the south and west. A concrete pathway leads to the south entrance, with a driveway adjacent to the garage. The gardens to the east overlook Belfast Lough.
