67 University Road, Belfast, Co Antrim, BT7 1NF

Plain, two storey late Georgian /early Victorian style terrace ‘house’ of 1852, with brick façade, one of a group of four three relatively similar properties now divided into flats and offices. The terrace to which the property belongs (originally named ‘Botanic View’) is situated on the W side of University Road, with Camden Street to the north and Fitzwilliam Street to the south, and consists of this property, its two similar neighbours, three three storey late Georgian style stucco houses of c.1840-41 to the north, and four similar (but taller) three storey late Georgian stuccoed houses to the north again (all now converted to flats). No. 67 sits on the S side of the terrzace. The front (E facing) façade is asymmetrical. To the left on the ground floor is the original entrance doorway. This is no longer used as the flats are accessed from the rear stairwell return. The ‘doorway’ consists of traditional style panelled and glazed ‘door’ which in fact acts as a window. The door has plain timber pilaster jambs and a plain elliptical fanlight, with the whole ensemble set within an elliptical headed recess with rendered reveal. To the right of the ‘doorway’ are two flat arch windows with plain sash frames. To the first floor (and spread more widely apart than the ground floor windows) are two more windows with Georgian-paned sash frames (6/6). Brick string courses at first floor cill level, with another similar string course above first floor window level. To the ground floor of the rear façade there are two sash windows with Georgian panes (both 6/3). To the first floor there are two similar windows. The rear façade is finished in plain rendered and is painted. The main gabled roof is slated. To the rear there is a large flat roofed dormer (added presumably c.1984) with Georgian-paned casement window. Small Velux window to front. Tall rendered chimneystack to N with string course and decorative matching pots. Brick chimneystack to S. Verge course to front and rear, both with recent looking moulded guttering. Modern style square downspouts. To front the small garden has low rendered walls and is filled with shrubbery. [*No.59 was rebuilt in the 1980s.]
