2 Ben Madigan Park, Belfast, Co. Antrim, BT36 7PZ

No. 2 Ben Madigan Park is a detached five-bay single-storey villa with attic, built in 1928 on an L-shaped plan. It was designed by and built for Thomas McKee, a Belfast builder and contractor who developed the Ben Madigan Park area during the interwar period as part of suburban expansion in the townlands of Low Wood, Green Castle and Ballygolan.

The building is rendered roughcast with a hipped red clay tiled roof featuring terracotta ridge tiles, mitred hips, overhanging eaves with painted sheeted soffit and moulded fascia. Cast-iron ogee moulded painted gutters discharge to circular downpipes. A pair of red brick chimneys with flat coping and dentil eaves course support circular terracotta chimney pots.

The south-facing front elevation comprises five bays with a projecting hipped bay to the west and polygonal bays to the east, with a curved window bay to the south-west. The design features a timber-framed and glazed screen enclosing an entrance lobby with a smooth render-band sill course and plinth. The east elevation has five bays with polygonal bays to the north and south. A distinctive five-bay veranda extends between these polygonal bays, forming an entrance canopy with squared timber posts on rendered walls, decorative timber spandrels forming depressed arches, decorative timber railing and balustrade. Some original timber casement windows retain leaded coloured glass insets, including six-pane curved bay windows. The five-panelled glazed timber entrance door features leaded coloured glazing with sidelights and fanlights. Square-headed dormers with hipped roofs appear on the east and west elevations. The north elevation has a polygonal bay to the east and a single-storey extension with hipped roof, added in the late twentieth century. The west rear elevation is four-bay with a square-headed hipped dormer.

The building occupies an elevated site overlooking Belfast Lough to the east, accessed from Ben Madigan Park to the south. It is enclosed by mature hedges to the west and north, with gardens to the east and south, and has an outbuilding to the north-west. Timber decking with timber sheeted walling and timber balustrade extends to the south.

The house was originally occupied by John McKee, the builder's brother, from the time of construction until his death in 1941. It subsequently passed to his widow Lucy, and after her death in 1946 was occupied by Elizabeth R. Wood. The property retains much of its original character and form, though replacement windows have been installed to the south elevation. The First Survey record described it as "the most attractively sited of a quaint type of interwar house which abounds in the Ben Madigan area, clearly all by the same hand", noting the roughcast walls, red tiled roofs and distinctive pavilion-like polygonal bays with Japanese fret-type balustrade.
