4 Meeting House Road, Aghacarnan, Upper Ballinderry, Lisburn, Co. Antrim, BT28 2NN

A one and a half storey, three bay, thatched house now with a central hallway but retaining the original lobby entry at the east end. The rear of the house faces the main road overlooking a lawn with trees and bushes. The front elevation, orientated to the south, has a grassed area at the front and another at the side. A concrete covered yard on the opposite side is enclosed by pitched roofed outbuildings. The site is accessed from the Moira roundabout/Glenavy road by turning to the east at Upper Ballinderry and proceeding for a mile before making a turn to the north. The house is located a further half-mile on the right-hand side. The external finish is of limestone chips with a recessed base. The thatch covering is contained within tiled parapets and each gable rises to a corbelled red brick chimney each with one pot. There are three rows of exposed scollops at the ridge and one at the eaves. The ridge is of the wrap-over variety and the eaves are cut at an angle. All of the windows in the main house are vertically sliding and plain sashed with bevelled sash stops. The openings are dressed with slightly raised surrounds, lightly moulded at the bottoms at the front, and with sills of traditional depths. The entrance with four facetted panels and bolection mouldings has a plain fanlight. It is set in a plain surround that terminates in door blocks. To the left (west) of the entrance there are two windows and to the right there is one window and a sheeted door in the position of the original entrance also in a plain surround but without door blocks. Beyond this there occurs a single storey pitched roof annex lighted by a top-hung window. The roof covering is of cement fibre slates finished at the gable by means of a timber bargeboard and the rainwater goods are of plastic. There are four windows at the rear. The second from the right (west) is raised to accommodate the staircase landing. There is a pair of similar windows, but of reduced dimensions, in either gable.
