Rose Cottage/Bayview, 19 / 21 Beach Road, Portballintrae, Bushmills, Co Antrim, BT57 8RT

The property is divided into two dwelling units facing west overlooking Portballintrae Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It is reached a little short of two miles by the road that travels in a north-westerly direction from Bushmills. The buildings are set at an angle to the roadway and fronted by small lawns interspersed with pieces of polygonal basalt. The buildings are single storey with roof spaces lighted by small plain windows in the gables. The finish is roughcast and whitened. The roofs are thatched between cement skews. There are two rows of scollops at the ridge and one at the eaves. Each gable rises to a corbel-topped chimneystack and there are two further stacks on the ridgeline. Entry to the houses is by means of timber sheeted half doors furnished with decorative hinges, latches, postal flaps and yale locks. Four 12-pane casement windows light the front elevation one on either side of the entrances. The sills are narrow. At the rear starting from the north corner there are a pair of vertically sliding windows with plain sashes and then a panelled door glazed in the upper part. Following this a bedroom/bathroom extension is flat roofed with deep timber fascia and lighted by modern timber windows all finished in stain. This is all that may be seen from the rear as the remainder is obscured by a pitched roof garage. Between this feature and the main house a kitchen extension, entered by a timber sheeted half door, is of similar construction to the projection already noted. A window on the wall face between the projections is made up of two lights each 2x3
