17 Main Street, Armoy, Ballymoney, County Antrim, BT53 8RF

Single-fronted two-storey terrace house of c.1835-40, originally double-fronted, but radically altered in 1996 when much the eastern half of the building was amalgamated with the neighbouring property. The building is located to the north side of Main Street. The front elevation faces roughly S. To the right on the ground floor is a doorway with panelled timber door and plain rectangular fanlight, all encased with a moulded surround with keystone (this surround is recent- it replaced a somewhat plainer one). To the right of the doorway is a window with horned timber sash frame with plate glass. This window has a surround similar to the doorway, it to is a recent addition. To the first floor are two similar windows. The front elevation is finished in painted lined render with rusticated quoins. To the rear there is a doorway to left on the ground floor with recent part glazed door. To the right of this is a broad (probably enlarged) window, with modern timber frame. Above the doorway there is a window at half-landing level with modern timber frame. There is a similar (but slightly larger) window to right on the first floor. There are two very small windows above this set close to the eaves, both with timber sash frames (two panes over two). There is nothing corresponding to the is level on the front elevation, and the internal staircase does not appear to rise above first floor (see interior description below). The rear elevation is finished in painted roughcast. The gabled roof is slated to the front at least. The covering on the other side of the roof could not be seen. There is a large rendered chimneystack to W. The rainwater goods are a mixture of cast-iron and PVCu.
