Race View, 19 Factory Road, Enniskillen, BT74 6DT

Race View is a picturesquely sited two-storey house of early nineteenth-century date, located to the north east of Enniskillen town centre on Factory Road.

The front (south west) façade is characterised by three symmetrically arranged breakfronts, which appear to have been added in the late nineteenth century. The central two-storey gabled breakfront contains the front entrance, set within a flat-headed door opening with half-height sidelights. The door itself dates to around 1950 and is timber panelled, flanked by leaded lights.

Window openings throughout are flat-headed with cut stone sills. Original two-over-two sash frames have been retained internally, with top-hung uPVC frames added externally. The window arrangement is symmetrical: to the left of the entrance, there are two ground-floor openings (one in the recess and one in the breakfront), with shorter first-floor openings to each breakfront and recess. To the right of the entrance, there are two further ground-floor windows arranged similarly. The north west gable is blank.

The rear (north east) façade features a central two-storey gabled return. To the right of the return is a single-storey lean-to addition, possibly dating to the late nineteenth century, with flat-headed windows in top-hung timber frames. On the first floor of the main façade to the right of the return are two evenly spaced windows with uPVC over timber sash. Windows to the return are flat-headed in bi-partite or single arrangements, all in uPVC frames. To the left of the return is a hipped-roof sunroom dating to around 1980, with a chamfered plan shape and uPVC French doors opening onto a small paved patio. The area to the left of the sunroom contains sash windows internally with uPVC frames externally on both ground and first floors, although one first-floor opening has a uPVC frame only. The south east gable is blank except for one central first-floor window of standard type.

The pitched, slated roof features gabled breakfronts. Cast-iron rainwater goods are present. Walls are finished with ruled and lined render on a slightly recessed plinth.

A single-storey rear extension was added in the 1980s.

The house stands within a mature garden at the head of a short tarmac driveway, with a large tarmac yard to the rear. A two-storey former outbuilding close to the north east rear façade has recently been converted to commercial use, now housing two separate two-storey business units.

The setting includes a large GAA pitch to the southern side of the road, enclosed by a tall roughcast rendered wall. Race Course Lough lies to the north, a derelict factory building to the east, and a modern cinema with associated car park to the west.
