'Dunvaron', 27 Charles Street, Ballymoney, Co. Antrim, BT53 6DX

Dunvaron, 27 Charles Street, Ballymoney, is a two-storey plus attic Edwardian Freestyle house built in 1908, one of a matching semidetached pair designed by James Scott of Belfast. The property sits on the northeast side of Charles Street, approximately 0.3 kilometres north of the town centre.

The house is constructed in red brick with pebbledash and cement render to the upper floors. It has an asymmetric plan comprising a roughly square main two-storey block with a single-storey flat-roofed entrance porch to the west and shallow full-height gabled bays to the front and rear. The front bay includes a further single-storey canted bay. To the northwest is a single-storey L-shaped outhouse projection with a later garage extension, and to the north a small single-storey lean-to projection (later abutted by a large single-storey double garage of no heritage interest).

The main block is roofed with natural Welsh slate and clay ridge tiles, with plain moulded bargeboards on brackets. Two brick chimneystacks with pronounced corbelling and clay pots rise from the structure, with one shared between the pair. A gabled dormer and Velux window provide attic lighting. The kitchen projection has a hipped roof of matching materials and a slim brick chimneystack to its northeast corner. The canted bay has a shallowed hipped roof covered in lead sheeting.

Window openings are predominantly segmental-headed, with some flat-headed examples to the canted bay, dormers, and rear ground floor. Most are filled with plain one-over-one timber sash frames. Two larger windows to the front and upper floor back have mullioned and transom frames with Art Nouveau Style glazing to the upper panes, as do windows to the west side of the porch and the dormers. Sandstone cills appear throughout, though verification is required. Rainwater goods are largely replacement uPVC.

The south elevation features a porch with a timber door displaying Art Nouveau Style glazing, set within a sandstone keystone surround with an Art Nouveau Style brass letterbox and three tall vertical panels beneath. A full-height bay contains a canted bay with four windows, a pair of windows to the first floor, and a roundel window to attic level. To the right is a large ground floor window with a narrow sandstone keystone and a smaller first-floor window above it. A brick mullion with sandstone coping separates this property from its neighbour.

The west elevation shows two windows to the main block with patterned glazing to their lower sashes, a window to the entrance porch, and a first-floor window directly above the porch.

The north elevation includes a window on the main block, another on the kitchen projection (which has three doors to its east and south sides), and three further windows of various sizes to the first floor with another at upper landing level.

The front of the house features a garden enclosed by a brick wall with square brick piers and stone caps, with a gateway of decorative wrought-iron gates. A tarmac drive and forecourt provide access. To the rear is a large tarmac yard with the back garden beyond.
