Newfield, 3 Chapel Road, Aghadavy, Ballinderry Upper, Lisburn, BT28 2HH

A substantial two-storey, three-bay plus one, hearth-lobby type stone farmhouse and outbuildings predating 1832, possibly originating from an earlier three bay single-storey dwelling. Located at the end of a long lane off Chapel Road, 1mile south of Upper Ballinderry. Pitched natural slate roof with clay ridge tiles; cast-iron rainwater goods; chimneys not visable. Lime-rendered walling (largely eroded exposing field stone). 6/6 and 3/6 timber sliding sash windows, no horns; dressed stone cills; exposed red brick surrounds. Timber six-panelled door. The front elevation faces north and is asymmetrically arranged. Small brick porch with lean-to roof located to right of centre; two windows to the right and single window to the left. Three diminished first floor windows. Course line present at first floor cill level on right hand bays suggesting enlargement (Date unknown). Far left bay added later, clear distinction in stone work, comprises single first floor window and bricked up opening to ground floor left hand side. The left gable is blank. The rear elevation is largely overgrown and obscured from view; various openings to ground and first floor throughout; red brick surrounds. Rear roof pitch largely deteriorated. The right elevation is blank; formerly abutted by a single-storey outbuilding; now partially deteriorated. Setting: Located at the end of a long avenue secluded from the main road. Upon approach, gated circular piers formalise the entrance lined with trees to the farmyard. Numerous outbuildings, snecked rubble and of good workmanship abutting and adjacent to the farmhouse, arranged forming a yard to the front; access via gated piers. Buildings vary from completely derelict to moderately good condition. Generally gable ended, pitched natural slate on timber collar beam truss; field stone walling.
