Glenview House, 1 Hazelhill Road, Carrickmore, Omagh, Co Tyrone, BT79 9AH

Glenview House is a detached three-bay two-storey Georgian house built circa 1820, located on the east side of Hazelhill Road in Carrickmore. A simply detailed building with an early appearance, it retains its original form and layout despite some loss of original character, and represents a good and unusual example of a minor country house of its period.

The main house is rectangular in plan with a two-storey extension to the north, added circa 1850, and further abutted to the west by a single-storey lean-to extension. The pitched roof is covered in natural slate with corbelled eaves course and raised concrete verges to the west only, finished with blue and black clay ridge tiles. Rendered corbelled chimneys rise from the roof with various clay pots.

The walls are faced in ruled-and-lined render with banded quoins; the rear and east elevations are roughcast. The principal elevation faces south and features a central replacement square-headed four-panelled timber entrance door surmounted by a round-arched-headed glazed fanlight and flanked by square-headed sidelights. The principal elevation contains windows to the left and right of the door, with three windows at first-floor level. These are square-headed timber-framed 6/6 sliding sash windows with 2/2 margin lights separated by timber mullions, set in moulded architraves with keystones and painted masonry sills.

The east gable contains a single timber casement window at first-floor level on the right. The east elevation contains a 6/6 sliding sash window at ground-floor left and an 8/8 sliding sash window at ground-floor right, with two 6/6 sliding sash windows at first-floor level. The west elevation, abutted at ground-floor by the extension, has two 6/6 sliding sash windows at first-floor level, with an exposed wall to the left containing a single 6/6 sliding sash window at first-floor level. The west gable contains a single 8/8 sliding sash window at first-floor left. The north elevation is abutted by the extension with a blank north gable.

The property is set within private grounds enclosed by a yard to the north, accessed via square rendered pillars to the south-east and south-west supporting a pair of wrought-iron gates. Within the yard are several outbuildings, all added circa 1850. These comprise a single-storey lean-to outbuilding to the north with a natural slate roof, painted rubble walls, and square-headed vertically sheeted timber doors; a single-storey pitched outbuilding to the west with a natural slate roof, painted brick walls, and two carriage arches to the east elevation; and a multi-bay two-storey outbuilding to the east with a pitched natural slate roof and walls of random rubble with red brick surrounds to openings. Remains of an earlier outbuilding survive to the west. The property is bounded to the road by rubble walling, with access from the south-east through square rendered pillars supporting cast-iron gates within an alcoved entrance consisting of a rendered plinth wall surmounted by cast-iron railings.

Historical records show the house on the first edition Ordnance Survey Map of 1833. The Townland Valuations of 1828 to 1840 record the Reverend Alexander Christie dwelling in the "house and office" valued at £7 12s 4d, with a note explaining the property was "too large for farm." By 1854, the second edition Ordnance Survey Map captions it as "Termon Cottage" and shows an extension to the rear with additional outbuildings. Griffith's Valuations record the "house, offices and land" owned and occupied by the Reverend Andrew Christie, valued at £8. The Valuation Revisions of 1860 to 1929 record that the Reverend Andrew Christie leases the "House, offices and land" from Sir John M. Stewart, Baronet, valued at £13. Throughout subsequent revisions, various changes of occupier are recorded but the valuation remains unchanged.
