Ballyhill House, 30 Stonepark Road, Brookeborough, Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, BT94 3G7

Ballyhill House is a one-and-a-half storey house of three bays, set on an elevated site up a lane on the west side of Stonepark Road, near Brookeborough.

The main block is roofed in natural slate with a half hipped profile running northwest to southeast. Chimneysstacks flank the narrow central bay on either side, constructed of rendered brick with masonry copings and moulded terracotta pots—three pots on the left chimney and two on the right. An advanced eaves course supporting half-round cast-iron rainwater goods runs across the front, with masonry skews tying into it on the gables.

The principal elevation faces northeast. The wall is lined, rendered and painted, with blocked quoins. The central bay contains the main entrance, which comprises a single masonry step with a wrought-iron boot scraper leading to a four-panelled door with the top two panels glazed. Above the door is a painted dressed masonry architrave with a tooled outer edge. A coved masonry entablature serves both as a hood to the door and a cill to a small window above, which features three panes and a spoke head with a smooth rendered architrave. The left and right bays are wider than the central bay and each contains an exposed box 8/8 sliding sash window at ground floor, with a painted masonry cill and rendered architrave.

The right (northwest) gable is abutted on its left by a small single-storey porch of late 19th-century date. The remaining gable wall is lined, rendered and painted with quoins, blank at ground floor, and at attic level contains a 6/6 sliding sash window set centrally and a 4/4 sliding sash window to the right, both with rendered architraves matching those on the front elevation.

The porch has a hipped natural slate roof with overhanging eaves supported on decorative rafter tails. Its walls are band rusticated and painted, with lined voussoirs above the openings. The northeast and northwest faces each have a 1/1 sliding sash window, that to the northwest being slightly larger. The southwest face has a four-panelled door with the top two panels glazed, with a narrow transom above.

The rear (southwest) elevation is three bays wide, with the central bay narrower than the others and advancing slightly under a cat-slide roof. The wall is wet-dashed. At ground floor left is a window opening with a cill. To the ground floor right of the central bay is a modern casement window in an infilled doorway. Set to the left of the attic level of the central bay is an exposed box 6/6 sliding sash window serving the stairwell.

A one-and-a-half storey return abuts the right bay. It has a half-hipped natural slate roof with a lower ridge level than the main block, and a roughly centred modern brick chimneystack. The left face is smooth plastered with a tongue-and-groove sheeted door to the centre. This elevation is abutted by a collapsed lean-to. The end gable of the lean-to, flush with the end wall of the return and stone-coped, has a small square window opening. The infilled doorway on the central bay of the main house once served this lean-to. The end gable of the rear return is embanked by earth at ground floor level and has two window openings at attic level: the left small and without a window frame, and the right a 3x3-paned Georgian glazed window with brick reveals. The right face of the rear return is flush with the left gable of the main house and has a fixed 2x3-paned timber window to the left of a doorway.

The left gable of the main house is dashed and painted. A modern timber door is set to the left of centre, with timber casement windows asymmetrically arranged to the left and right of the door. At attic level are two further windows.

The driveway runs southwest from the road, turning south at the front of the house and then west along the left gable, opening into a large yard. To the immediate south is a large modern farmyard. The front garden is raised and enclosed by a painted rubble stone wall, with a flat iron gate on plain piers at its junction with the east corner of the house. A further front gate with a path leads directly to the front door. Two large urns and two small yews are set in the front garden, which continues north of the house as a lawned area.
