22 Brookside Road, Clontangullion, Ballynahinch, County Down, BT24 8LE

An asymmetrical three-bay, two-storey early nineteenth-century farmhouse with attached outbuildings, located south of Brookside Road, Dromore. The building is rectangular on plan with an attached byre and two-storey barn to the west.

The main structure is roofed in natural slate with yellow brick chimneystacks topped with clay pots. The walls are of rubble stone with lime wash rendering, except for the cement-rendered gable. Windows are timber-framed: the ground floor has 8/8 sliding sash windows, and the first floor has 4/8 sliding sash windows with exposed box sashes.

The principal elevation faces north and is asymmetrically arranged across four bays on the first floor. The ground floor comprises, from left to right: a margin-paned window, an early timber-sheeted double-leaf door with a multi-paned transom light above, two further windows (the left one a 6/6), and a timber-sheeted door accessed by three stone steps. The east gable is blank. The south (rear) elevation was not inspected. The west elevation at ground floor is abutted by a single-storey byre.

The attached outbuildings comprise a variety of slated rubble stone structures arranged around a sloping central yard. To the west lies a linear range containing a single-cell byre and two-storey barn. The byre features an early timber-sheeted door to the right of centre and a diminutive window with early timber boarding to its left. The barn has a multi-paned timber-framed casement window to the first floor left and an 8/4 timber-framed sliding sash to the first floor right, with a timber-sheeted door at the centre. The ground floor has four irregularly spaced early timber-sheeted doors, and the west gable contains a diminutive 2/2 window. The rear elevation has three irregularly spaced window openings.

To the northeast, set on a slope, are two rubble stone barns of two and single storeys. The two-storey barn has a timber-sheeted door to the right of centre at the south gable. The west elevation has a replacement timber-sheeted door to the left and a segmental-headed carriage entrance with replacement timber-sheeted doors also to the left; the first floor has a window opening with timber boarding. A split-level block at a lower level has a timber-sheeted door to the left accessed by two masonry steps and a timber-framed window over a ¾ timber stable door to the left. A single-storey block at a lower level has a ¾ timber-sheeted door to the right.

A roughcast-rendered stable block to the northwest is of later date and has two replacement stable doors, abutted to the left by a lean-to with a replacement stable door.

The setting is elevated with laned access from a narrow country road. A modern one-and-a-half storey dwelling stands to the east with shared access. To the southwest is an overgrown lane lined by mature trees, accessed via a rubble stone gate pier with rendered cap supporting a modern tubular metal farm gate. To the northwest is a decorative wrought-iron farm gate with an adjoining roughcast-rendered wall having coping stones and gate piers with pointed caps. Further north are modern ruled-and-lined rendered gate piers with pointed caps and a wrought-iron farm gate. A tubular metal farm gate is attached to the front of the house at the east. Extensive farmland to the north is bounded to the road by hedgerow.

Rainwater goods are of cast iron.
