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

This is a two-storey, four-bay-wide shop terrace, likely rebuilt around the late 19th century—probably between 1880 and 1899. It is part of a terrace of two buildings and stands within the Ballycastle conservation area. Repairs were undertaken around 1996. The building may have been constructed by Dallat, a builder who also erected other houses in Ann Street and Quay Road, using similar detailing.

The ground floor features a recessed, single wide, four-panelled door with a plain rectangular fanlight above. Narrow pilasters flank the door. To the left of the door is a four-light shop window with arched heads and a low cill, set within pilasters mirroring those at the door. A long name fascia, with a moulded frame and cornice incorporating lettering, stretches over both the door and window. Adjacent to the shop front is a segmental arch gateway with a minimal keystone. The first floor has four double-hung sliding sash windows with two panes to each. Each window is surrounded by a moulded, painted architrave with a cill supported on a pair of moulded corbels. The exterior walls are smooth, rendered, and painted, with quoins at the side of the gateway. A half-round metal gutter runs along the roof, which is covered in natural slates. Chimney stacks are present at each gable and one on the ridge between the shop and gateway.

Underneath the gateway, the walls are of painted stone, and the underside of the floor is plastered on laths with exposed timber beams. At the rear, there is a basement-level door and a small two-pane window at ground floor level. There are also two boarded-up windows at the first floor. The rear walls are roughcast rendered and unpainted and have a half-round metal gutter and a natural slated roof. The gateway passage provides access to a car park located to the rear of Ann Street; the access is flanked by yard walls rendered in roughcast, punctuated with gateways.
