Red House, 88 Urney Road, Strabane, Co Tyrone, BT82 9RX

Red House is a detached three-bay two-storey asymmetrical Arts and Crafts house built around 1890, located on the east side of Urney Road. The building is T-shaped in plan with a gabled projecting bay to the north. A single-storey hipped entrance porch sits within the re-entrant angle, abutted by a single-storey flat-roofed veranda to the north-east. A two-storey gabled return projects to the south-east, with a single-storey lean-to extension attached to its south side.

The roofs are pitched and covered in rosemary clay tiles with timber bargeboards over deep overhanging eaves. Red brick corbelled chimneys with original clay pots rise from the structure. The ground floor walls are constructed of Flemish-bonded red brick, whilst the first floor is clad in timber shingles. Windows are square-headed timber-framed with leaded lattice lights (now blocked); they feature corbelled brick sills and voussoirs, with sandstone sills to the return.

The principal elevation faces north. The left bay contains a single window at first-floor level, with a flat-roofed timber-framed glazed veranda over a brick plinth below. At the re-entrant angle sits a timber-panelled glazed porch containing a nine-panelled timber door with sidelights (now blocked). A gabled dormer with decorative half-timbering and a single window projects to the attic. The central gabled bay features two segmental-headed windows at ground floor, with roughcast and half-timbering to the projecting first floor supported on corbelled brackets containing a single window. A hipped dormer with a single attic window crowns this bay. The right bay contains a single window to both ground and first floors, with a hipped dormer containing a single attic window.

The east gable features a central projecting chimney-breast with a single ground-floor window. The exposed section to the left contains a double-leaf entrance opening (door missing) with a window above at first-floor level. The south elevation is partially obscured by the return to the right. The exposed section to the left shows a single window to each floor, whilst the right section contains small windows at ground floor and two small windows at first floor.

The west gable consists of a central projecting chimney-breast with rosemary clay tiled weathering, containing a single ground-floor window to the left and two timber casement windows at first floor. The exposed section to the left contains double-leaf entrance doors accessed by sandstone steps, whilst the exposed section to the right contains a single ground-floor window.

The south-east return has an east gable containing two windows at each floor level. The gable displays roughcast with decorative half-timbering supported on corbelled brackets and contains a small window. The south elevation is partially obscured by a lean-to extension containing a single window to the west and a first-floor window. To the left, there is a single window at each floor level. The west gable contains a central window at ground floor flanked by a four-panelled timber entrance door on each side, with two windows at first floor to the left. The gable features roughcast with mock half-timbering supported on corbelled brackets and contains a small window. The north elevation is obscured by the main house.

The grounds are mature gardens. A single-storey red brick stable block with a pitched natural slate roof stands to the south-east. A single-storey gabled red brick gatelodge with mock half-timbering to the gable is positioned to the north. The property is bounded to the road at the north-west by red brick walling. Access is through a pair of stretcher-bonded brick piers with concrete orb caps set in an alcoved entrance. The gutters are cast-iron half-round with round downpipes.
