35 Ann Street, Ballycastle, Co Antrim, BT54 6AA

This is a late Victorian building, likely constructed in the 1880s, located on Ann Street, Ballycastle. It currently serves as a shop and part of a terrace, situated within a conservation area.

The building is a three-bay wide, two-and-a-half-story house with a basement and a shopfront. The shopfront spans the full width of the building and features panelled, moulded pilasters on either side, topped with capitals that frame a fascia with Gothic lettering. A large shop window is subdivided into 60 small panes, with a low cill featuring moulded plaster panels. The shop door is on the right, featuring two lower vertical panels and an upper glazed section resembling a shop window. A four-panelled door provides access to the living accommodation on the left. Lantern lights are positioned above each door, integrated into the fascia. At the first floor, there are three double-hung sash windows with two panes each, framed by moulded plaster architraves rising from painted cills supported by two moulded corbels. Above the first floor windows is an elongated recessed panel. A plain frieze runs below the gutter. The roof is covered in natural slates and includes three dormers aligned with the first-floor windows. These dormers are gabled with plain bargeboards and a slight overhang. The windows are double-hung sash windows with two panes each. The walls are finished with smooth rendering and painted. A plaster plinth runs across the front of the building, and recessed panels are situated under the shop window.

The rear of the building features a narrow back return with a double-pitched roof, extending three stories including the basement. The rear walls are finished with roughcast and are unpainted, with a slated roof and a single, large Velux-type rooflight.

The building received grants from the Environment Heritage Service (EHS) and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE) in 1986, facilitating a renovation and rear extension. Historical maps from 1832, 1856, and 1904 document the area.
