8-14 Castlefinn Road, Churchtown, Castlederg, Co Tyrone, BT81 7BT

Terrace of four street-fronted stone houses, built c.1850, formerly a factory occupying Nos.6, 8, 10 & 12, with the Manager's house occupying the northernmost house No.14, converted into dwellings c.1860, restored c.1995. Pitched natural slate roof, black clay ridge tiles and shared rendered chimneystacks to the party walls with terracotta pots. Cast-iron rainwater goods on drive-through iron brackets. Uncoursed rubblestone walling to front elevation with dressed quoins to the north corner only. Cement rendered to rear elevation and north gable. Square-headed window openings formed in redbrick with cut stone sills and replacement multi-pane iron swivel windows. Square-headed door openings formed in redbrick with double-leaf vertically-sheeted timber doors. Each unit is now two windows wide with a central door opening and a rear yard. Nos.8, 10 & 12 formed the factory with smaller windows openings, enlarged during the conversion using brick. The former Manager's house (No.14) has rough-hewn squared stone walling and window openings formed in voussoired stone, while originally incorporating an elliptical-headed carriage arch formed in voussoired ashlar. The rear elevation displays more clearly the former window sizes with each house having an identical arrangement of two windows and a central door opening with smaller window openings except to No.14. The carriage arch gives rear access to all units and has vertically-sheeted timber doors. A tall rubblestone wall to the lane continues and encloses all the rear gardens, each having a rear gate of vertically-sheeted timber. Formerly, the landscaped plot to the rear of the gardens served as communal vegetable garden to all houses, now in church use.
