26 Main Street, Ballykelly, Limavady, Co Londonderry, BT49 9HS

This is a terrace of four small, two-story houses built around 1828 in Ballykelly, County Londonderry. The terrace was designed by Richard Suitor and likely constructed by James Turnball. Originally intended to complement the Presbyterian Church and local church, the houses are built of coursed sandstone blocks with ashlar facing onto Main Street. The fronts, set close to the footwalk, feature deeply recessed doorways with segmental heads, and windows divided into three sliding sash windows, with the centre window being twice the width of the side windows. Below the windows is a recessed panel in the stonework. At first floor level, a row of square-headed sash windows creates a regular rhythm, and a projecting band of stonework marks the floor level and turns the corner onto the gable. The eaves have exposed rafters and a moulded bargeboard, and the voissoirs of the ground floor segment arches are well executed, with a chamfered top edge to the plinth stone. The roofs are covered with large Bangor blue slates, and the chimneys are of red brick, seemingly more recent. The gable stonework to a height of 900mm is of rubble whinstone. An attic space exists within each house, with skylights, one of which retains an original cast iron design. The rear of the houses has been significantly altered, with one end house featuring a recent back return, another an intermediate one having a flat-roofed dormer, and a third due to receive another back return. Windows have also been changed. A wide back lane separates the terrace from its gardens. The cost of building the terrace, along with eight brick houses and eight cottages (of which no remains exist), was approximately £3,000, according to the Ordnance Survey Memoirs. The terrace was formerly known as Clooney Road and was delisted on 22 July 1998.
