22 Lislaird Road, Mournebeg, Castlederg, Co Tyrone, BT81 7UG

A large three-bay two-storey-over-basement early nineteenth-century house with attic, located on the west side of Lislaird Road. L-shaped on plan, with return to left side of rear elevation. Roof is half-hipped natural slate with rolled clay ridge tiles and brick chimneystacks ao cross walls. Aluminium rainwater goods on drive-in-brackets over corbelled eaves. Walling is dry-dashed with smooth cement rendered plinth and quoins. Windows are 6/6 and 1/1 timber sliding sashes (boarded over to south elevation), all with slightly projecting smooth rendered surrounds and sandstone sills. Principal (garden) elevation faces south and is symmetrical, with cement rendered platband between floors. There are five windows to each floor; that to ground floor centre is wider and lower (possibly a modified door opening); ground floor windows are boarded, first floor windows are 1/1. West elevation has three irregularly spaced windows to first floor (that to right is 3/1). Ground floor was inaccessible due to dense vegetation. It is abutted by a high stone wall at extreme left. Rear elevation is abutted by the return at right. The exposed left and central bays each have a window to each floor. The return has two windows to each floor at east, and a boarded door and window opening to north elevation. East elevation has a door to right side with six raised-and-fielded bolection moulded panels (central two glazed and boarded) and a geometric fanlight, all contained in a projecting cast-concrete surround with cast cornice and fluted panel detail. It is otherwise blank with the exception of a 3/3 window to attic and a diamond-shaped panel in render to first floor. To rear is a yard, now grassed and overgrown, bounded by several stone outbuildings (some ruinous), and by a high rubble stone garden wall. The outbuildings are two-storey and single-storey with pitched slate roofs and roughly coursed random rubble walling. They include a two storey byre and loft at northwest (openings with timber lintels with the exception of rubble voussoirs to byre entrance), and a long single storey coach and stable range at east; walling is coursed rubble stone, openings all have rubble voussoirs with the exception of an inserted square-headed opening with timber lintel. There is a segmental-headed coach arch at right; timber sheeted doors throughout. The house is accessed at the east by a long partially gravelled avenue, marked at the junction with the road by the remains of a stone gate screen with dressed limestone pillars and squared rubble curved screen walls. The avenue is lined with conifers. Roof: Half-hipped natural slate Walling: Dry dashed Windows: Majority 6/6 timber sashes (some 1/1) RWG: Aluminium
