Description

Nos 31-33 Main Street, Bushmills were a pair of two-storey terraced houses constructed between 1834 and 1855 on the west side of Main Street. Built as part of the general rebuilding of Bushmills undertaken by the MacNaghten family of Bushmills House following their acquisition of the estate in 1787, they were among the last structures erected along this stretch of the street during the early 19th century.

The buildings were described in 1972 as a pair of two-storey rendered houses with modern fenestration and an elliptical arched coach entrance. They maintained consistent eaves and ridge levels, featured a slated roof, and had rendered chimneys. Contemporary valuation maps and an early 20th-century photograph show both buildings as three-bay structures, with No. 31 possessing a coach arch. Two small outbuildings occupied the rear of the property.

Initially recorded separately on Griffith's Valuation of 1859—No. 31 valued at £6 10s and occupied by Mary Gault, No. 33 at £5 10s occupied by Barbara Huey—the buildings were combined into a single dwelling around 1896 and revalued at £10. The combined property was occupied by James Sinclair, a local national schoolteacher, and his family. The 1911 Census described the residence as a first-class dwelling of ten rooms with a turf-house and potato house as its only outbuildings. By the First General Revaluation (1936-57) the value had increased to £14 10s. The property changed hands to Daniel Cochrane around 1965, who subdivided it back into two separate dwellings and leased them to new tenants. By 1972 each dwelling was valued at £17 10s.

The buildings were individually listed in 1980 and included within the Bushmills Conservation Area when it was designated in 1992. Planning permission for demolition was granted in March 2001, and both buildings were completely demolished circa 2001 to facilitate construction of new residential units. The site is now vacant and partially concealed by hoarding and fencing.
