Description
Jennymount is a large, two-storey Domestic Revival style house of 1904, designed by architect Henry Seaver for Mrs Thompson. It sits on the east side of Malone Road at its intersection with Deramore Park South in Belfast.
The house exemplifies Domestic Revival characteristics with a brick and roughcast façade, mock half-timbering, rosemary tile hipped roof, tall corbelled brick chimney stacks, and an eclectic arrangement of projecting single and two-storey bays combining casement and sash windows.
The west-facing front façade features, to the right of centre, a small projecting single-storey hipped-roofed porch with a red brick stall riser base and upper timber window frames (four to the west face, three to the south face, and two to the north face with a central five-panelled timber door). Each window frame holds two panes with the bottom pane taller, plain glass, and the top pane with decorative coloured and leaded glass. To the left of the porch stands a tall plain sash window with a finely moulded cement surround, where the upper pane is slightly shorter than the lower. Further left is a semi-circular flat-roofed bay with two-paned window frames, lower panes taller, with curved glazing following the bay's shape. To the right of the porch is a two-storey gabled bay projecting slightly, featuring at ground floor a pair of sash windows and at first floor three casement windows, the rightmost centred within the bay with four panes, the far left centred above the semicircular bay with six panes, and the centre slightly left of centre above the porch with four panes. The lower façade section is finished in facing brick and the upper in roughcast. The gable's upper section has mock half-timbering and is surmounted by a terracotta finial.
The south façade contains a semicircular bay on the left side, followed to the right by two sash windows, above which sits a single sash window. Centred above the bay is a six-pane casement window. To the far right is a recessed two-storey bay with two four-over-one sash windows at ground floor and two paired four-over-one sash windows at first floor in typical Edwardian fashion.
The north façade features two sash windows to the right side (the left slightly shorter), with a large modern Victorian-style conservatory to the left. A projecting two-storey bay at the far left contains a sash window at ground floor to the left and a panelled glazed door to the right, above which is a cantilevered flat concrete canopy. At first floor of the main section are three windows: a sash window to the right and modern top-opener windows to the left. A further sash window is centred at first floor of the projecting bay. To the far left, a tall screen wall of facing brick links the house to outbuildings and features a large segmental elliptical arch opening with decorative wrought iron railing infill. The screen may be original; the outbuildings appear to post-date the main dwelling as they disrupt the secondary arch within the screen.
The rear façade has a two-storey projecting bay to the left with a blank upper section and a lean-to extension at ground level abutting the outbuilding. Centred is a recent flat-roofed single-storey porch. The far right at ground floor contains a large modern window, while at first floor is a sash window. The rosemary-tiled roof is steeply pitched in places with exposed rafter ends. Cast iron rainwater goods are present throughout.
To the east of the house is a group of outbuildings, one converted to a flat. A large garden to the north and west is surrounded by a brick wall with brick piers capped with gables. A large tarmac car park lies to the northeast.
The property takes its name from the original Jennymount, a circa 1790s mansion built to the north of Belfast by Robert Thomson, presumably a relative of Mrs Thompson.
