3 Parkmount, Belsize Road, Lisburn, County Antrim, BT27 4AN

Three-storey, two-bay Victorian mid-terrace townhouse built around 1900, located off Belsize Road north of Lisburn town centre, directly adjacent to Wallace Park. The building has a square plan form with a large two-storey rectangular rear return.

The roof is natural slate with a hipped form, leaded hips, and crested clay ridge tiles. A large double-width brick chimney stack shared with the adjoining owner sits over the ridge line and carries twelve clay pots. A large stucco cavetto cornice painted white runs at eaves level, with cast-iron ogee moulded guttering painted pale green to the front elevation and semi-circular cast-iron guttering to the rear. Box section uPVC downpipes are shared with the adjoining owner on the front elevation. Rear cast-iron rainwater goods include octagonal hopper heads and a tall cast-iron soil and vent pipe extending high above eaves level, all painted pale green.

The walling is red brick in Flemish bond with a projecting brick plinth, changing to English Garden Wall bond to the rear return. Windows are single-glazed timber 1/1 sliding sash with horns, painted white, with large rectangular sandstone cills. Window openings have 1½ brick flat arches with brick keyblocks and moulded cornice detail above. The timber front door, painted pale green, features four bolection moulded, raised-and-pointed panels with a rectangular fixed light over. It is flanked by plain pilasters decorated at cornice level with egg-and-dart moulding, rising to large foliated console brackets supporting the cornice. The door surrounds are painted red, and access is via two stone steps.

The principal elevation faces south and is asymmetrically arranged. The front door is located in the right-hand bay. To the left is a two-storey canted bay with a shallow pitched leaded roof. A terracotta string course and decorative panels appear at first-floor level, with a terracotta eaves course and corbel brick above. There is a single window directly over the door and two equally spaced windows at second-floor level. The first-floor windows have projected brick detailing under their cills. The heads of the second-floor windows are embedded into the large cornice detail at eaves level.

The rear elevation is asymmetrically arranged with a large hipped two-storey return projecting northwards from the left-hand bay, overlooking a long narrow yard. It contains single windows at ground and first-floor levels, with two uniformly arranged diminished windows at second-floor level, all with reduced detailing. The return features various sized openings with frames painted pale green. The rear chimney, also serving the adjoining property, is located to the left over the ridge line and has been reduced in height. A metal-framed rooflight is located to the left of the chimney stack.

A single-storey lean-to garage with metal-framed rooflight projects northwards, accessed by timber doors with a modern canopy over the entrance. A brick wall encloses the yard. An additional small lean-to coal bunker, shared with the adjoining property, is located to the right. A vehicular access is positioned directly in front of the terrace, with the small front garden beyond.

The building directly overlooks the large mature trees and open green space of the adjacent Wallace Park and Lisburn cricket ground. The remaining terrace blocks on either side are of matching style and quality. Modern dwellings are erected beyond the rear vehicular access.
