Ballysally House, 14 Atlantic Road, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry, BT52 1PX

Ballysally House is a symmetrical three-bay two-storey farmhouse dating from 1838, located west of the Portrush Road roundabout north of Coleraine. The building has a rectangular plan with a two-storey return to the rear and a modern single-storey extension at the west.

The roof is pitched natural slate with angled ridge tiles. Chimneystacks rise to the gables with moulded caps. The walls are pebbledashed over a cement plinth with quoins. Plastic rainwater goods are mounted on projecting stone eaves. Windows are replacement 6/6 timber sash with horns and exposed boxes in cement rendered surrounds with keyblocks and projecting concrete sills; the rear has uPVC windows.

The principal elevation faces south and is five openings wide at each floor. The entrance at ground floor centre is fronted by a modern slated concrete portico on two fluted columns with a concrete step. A replacement plastic panelled-and-glazed entrance door with faux bat wing fanlight occupies a round-headed cement rendered reveal. The west gable contains a small replacement first-floor window and is abutted by the gabled single-storey extension in similar style. The north (rear) elevation is abutted at centre by the two-storey return, which has uPVC windows at each floor to either side. The return itself contains windows to first and ground floor of its gable, with a replacement uPVC door to the right cheek in a sandstone surround, accessed by two stone steps. The east gable is blank.

The property sits on a large semi-rural site north of Coleraine town centre, with the ring-road and roundabout to the east and modern housing to the west. Open fields overlook the south elevation. Access from Atlantic Road is via two whitewashed rubblestone piers with granite caps supporting replacement timber gates; a fence-lined tarmacadamed avenue leads to the farmyard at rear. A whitewashed rubblestone wall extends along the east side of the house and avenue. The front entrance has two square whitewashed rubblestone piers with pointed granite caps supporting cast-iron gates, with a fence-lined lawned garden beyond.

The farmyard to the north contains two ranges of 19th-century two-storey outbuildings. A two-storey former mill northwest of the site is in poor repair with many boarded windows and a dilapidated cast-iron waterwheel to its west. The remaining large outbuildings have been partially modified with whitewashed walls and replacement or modern slate roofs. Small timber-sheeted openings face east; the west elevation has a large square-headed opening for modern farm machinery. The north-eastern range comprises a two and single-storey block and remains more intact, with natural slate roof and lime-rendered rubblestone walls (partially red-brick to the single-storey section). Large replacement metal sliding doors face east on the single-storey block; the two-storey block has various timber-sheeted openings including a loading door, all with red-brick relieving arches. Window openings are generally boarded, though one partially intact 3/6 timber sash window survives at first floor. Concrete yards are enclosed to the south by whitewashed rubblestone walls with round piers and pointed stone caps supporting modern metal gates. East of the farmyard stands a modified single-storey whitewashed rubblestone dwelling with uPVC windows throughout and a modern uPVC entrance door accessed by a paved ramp at the south gable.
