4 Glen Road, Ballynalargy, Lisburn, Co. Antrim, BT27 5JR

The house faces south-east and is sited gable end to the secondary road that proceeds west of north from the Lisburn Road which travels between Moira and Lisburn. The distance from the Lisburn Road is a little over one third of a mile and a level crossing is passed shortly after leaving that road. It is a one and a half storey roughcast house with plain dressings to the window openings and to the projecting porch. The wall plinths and the roof corbel courses are plain, and extremities, front and back, are finished with alternating quoins. The roof is thatched between cement skews. Each gable rises to a corbelled chimney stack, and there is a further stack left of centre serving the main hearth. These features are not provided with pots. The flat-roofed porch is flanked to the left (south-west) by one and to the right (north-east) by three vertically-sliding windows with sashes divided into two horizontally. The entrance door is of eight panels, 4x2, and the door of the wash house at the left (south-west) end of the front elevation is of the half door sheeted variety with a glazed panel in the upper part. Three small vertically sliding plain sashed windows light the upper storey of the front elevation. All of the windows are provided with moulded sash stops, frames are exposed and sills are of traditional depths. There is a six-pane casement, 3/2, in the right hand gable. At the left the buildings extend in red brick construction and the gable of the main house above is plain. At the rear there are three plain sashed windows at low level, and a smaller plain sashed window above. There are also two modern insertions. The sequence from the left (north-east) is as follows:- One sashed window, a modern casement window, a casement window of increased width and two sashed windows. The upper light occurs intermediate between the last two sashed windows. All openings have plain dressings and the sashed windows have curved or moulded stops. The exposure of the frames is not as pronounced as at the front and the larger modern window has a narrow sill.
