27 Main Street, Limavady, Co Londonderry, BT49 OEP

This is a two-storey, four-window-wide rendered shop building situated in a terrace of taller buildings facing northwest onto Main Street in Limavady, County Londonderry. The building dates from approximately 1840 to 1859. The roof is slated, with no visible chimneys facing the street. Cast iron rainwater goods are present. A simple, unadorned archway is located at the northeastern end of the facade, providing access to the rear of the site.

The front elevation has some remaining Victorian detail. The first floor features four evenly spaced Georgian sash windows, each with twelve panes and painted stone sills. A shop front occupies the space beneath the first three windows on the southwest side. A simple timber sign displays the name "J. A. Bradley, domestic lighting and giftware specialist." A panelled door with a plain rectangular fanlight is positioned under the northeastern end of the sign. A single-pane window with a glazed door to one side is also part of the shop front. 1970s tiles run between the window sills and the pavement. Simple wrought iron gates are situated at the arch entrance, opening into recesses in the side walls. The underside of the arch is exposed timber with plasterboard infill. The alleyway-facing walls are rendered with sand cement render, and two double-pane sash windows are located on the first floor of the side wall, along with one window above the arch. A modern, two-storey grey brick extension is directly ahead, filling the site to the Department of the Environment car park at the rear.

Two buildings were shown on the site on an 1831 map, and the present building is indicated on the 1848 map. The 1858 Griffiths Valuation records the building as a shop and a dispensary, then occupied by Marcus Dill M.D., with the dispensary situated to the rear of the arch. Deeds for the building date from the 1890s, though construction may have occurred earlier. The current occupants rented the building in 1969 and purchased it in 1974. It was formerly occupied by J. Magill as "Limavady Bargain Stores" in the 1960s. The former dispensary at the rear was used as a hairdressers until renovations in the mid-1980s removed the unit. The building exhibits vernacular characteristics.
