232 Ballybogey Road, Whiterock, Portrush, Co. Antrim, BT56 8NF

This is a detached, asymmetrical, split-level, single-storey over part basement Modernist house built around 1968 to designs by Robert Morrow of John Neill & Partners. The house occupies a prominent, elevated location and is laid out as a pair of staggered blocks, facing north at the end of a long bitmac lane to the southwest of Ballybogey Road, shared with a neighbouring property. It has flat rubber-lined roofs with horizontally-sheeted timber eaves aprons. The walling is painted rough-cast cement rendering with a recessed, smooth rendered plinth course. Full-height, square-headed window openings are a prominent feature, exhibiting vertical emphasis and splayed sills formed within the plinth course. Original hardwood double-glazed windows are set within these openings.

The front elevation is split-level, with the western end rising above the remainder of the facade, featuring a cantilevered oriel-type bay window over clerestorey basement windows. The main entrance is adjacent to the bay window and features varnished, vertically-sheeted hardwood panelling, a matching door, and two concrete paved steps. The symmetrical eastern side elevation has full-height windows wrapping around both corners; this elevation has been extended to the left with a sheeted hardwood screen wall. A lean-to, hardwood-framed conservatory, added around 2000, abuts the rear elevation and is flanked by projecting walls. The bedroom block is set back to the southwest corner of the main block and projects beyond the western elevation by four windows. A large rendered chimney stack is visible on the west side elevation, together with a corner window to the left and a glazed patio door to the right, opening onto a terracotta tiled floating patio.

The dwelling was constructed in 1968 and first appeared in valuation records in 1970, valued at £42. It was initially occupied by Alexander George Hamilton Morrow, likely a relative of the architect. A sun-room was added around 2000. The house is situated on an elevated site at the end of a long, shared bitmac drive, with extensive landscaped gardens overlooking the coast. The roof is constructed of rubber compound.
