Magherahinch House, Magherahinch, Moira, Craigavon, Co.Armagh, BT67 0LJ

Magherahinch House is a detached five-bay two-storey stone and brick double-pile house dated 1838, facing east. The rear pile was built circa 1720. The house is set within a farm accessed by a long lane to the south of Main Street, Moira, with an enclosed front lawn, single-storey outhouses attached to either gable end, and a large farmyard to the rear enclosed to the north and west by an L-plan range of two-storey stone outbuildings dated 1847, and to the south by a later range of concrete and iron sheds.

The roof is double-pile pitched natural slate with rolled iron ridges, parged verges, and cement rendered chimneystacks to all four gables with octagonal clay pots. Rainwater goods are replacement metal with a lead-lined central valley. The walling is random-coursed basalt with squared stone quoins and redbrick surrounds to window and door openings. Window openings are square-headed with stone sills; original timber sash windows have no horns and cylinder glass (3/6 to first floor, 6/6 to ground floor), with some replacement hardwood casement windows.

The symmetrical five-bay front elevation features painted random-coursed stone with painted squared quoins to the north end and rubble to the south. The central entrance comprises a three-centred brick arched door opening with a salvaged flat-panelled timber door flanked by replacement hardwood sidelights and an original webbed timber fanlight above. A carved stone plaque over the door bears a Devonshire crown and raised figures '1838', with the last three digits inserted later. The door opens onto a tiled step and concrete footpath through the front lawn.

The south side elevation is abutted by a modern reproduction single-storey rubble outhouse with pitched natural slate roof, flush to the front facade. This side comprises two gables, the rear gable stepped back behind the front pile, built of rubble stone with redbrick to the chimney flues and squared tooled stone to the southwest corner.

The three-bay two-storey rear elevation is built in random-coursed rubble with redbrick window and door openings. A single 6/6 timber sash window lights the stairhall; the remainder have hardwood casement windows. A hardwood glazed door opens onto two large granite steps to the concrete paved farmyard.

The north side elevation is abutted by a single-storey stone and brick outhouse with a bay recently collapsed. This side comprises two gables, the rear gable stepped back behind the front pile, built of rubble stone with redbrick to the window openings and chimney flues, and some squared sandstone to the corners of the front pile.

A small front lawn is enclosed to the lane by a reproduction semi-circular rubble wall. The lane continues before turning along the south side of the house and opening into a large concrete paved farmyard. The L-plan range of stone outbuildings to the north and west has an uninterrupted hipped natural slate roof with rubblestone walling and redbrick square-headed door and window openings. Elliptical-arched carriage arch openings are present; a carriage arch to the west exposes its original timber roof construction and a keystone inscribed '1847'.
