5 Glennan Road, Omagh, Co Tyrone, BT78 1SP

Detached three-bay single-storey house built around 1865 on the north side of Glennan Road, Omagh, on the site of an earlier dwelling. The house is traditional in style and proportion but represents a common type. The proportions and size of the window and door openings compromise its character, and it is not among the best examples of rural vernacular dwellings.

The building is rectangular on plan, facing south, with a central single-storey entrance porch to the south and a bed outshot to the north. The pitched roof is metal sheeted with two smooth rendered corbelled chimneystacks. Rainwater goods are u-profile cast iron. The walls are shell clad (shell pressed into smooth render) with smooth rendered quoins and a projecting plinth. Most windows are now blocked with smooth rendered banding and masonry cills, though 2/2 timber sliding sashes remain in the east gable.

The principal elevation faces south and is abutted off-centre at the left by the single-storey entrance porch with pitched metal sheeted roof. A single window opening appears at the left, with two windows at the right. The entrance porch's south gable contains a single window opening, while the left cheek has a single window opening and the right cheek contains a replacement timber door. The left (west) gable has two windows at first floor, and the right (east) gable is detailed similarly.

The house is accessed by lane from the south and sits within a rural farmyard with outbuildings to the east, west, and south. These outbuildings, built around 1830, are traditionally constructed with random rubble walling and metal sheeted roofs and may have been built at the same time as the earlier house that previously occupied the site. An outbuilding to the west, present on the 1833 Ordnance Survey map, appears to have survived.

Historical records show the current building on the third edition Ordnance Survey map of 1905–6, replacing an earlier structure shown on the first edition of 1833. Griffith's Valuation of 1858 records a house, offices and land occupied by Joseph Carson and leased from James Sproule, valued at £2 15 shillings. Valuation Revisions record subsequent occupiers, with William McFarland being the last recorded in 1919. The house was not included in the Townland Valuation as it fell below the £5 threshold.
