Description

This is a plain two-storey terrace house built in 1859. It is located on the eastern side of Mark Street, with its front elevation facing roughly west. The house has been significantly modernised in the 1980s and 1990s, with the exterior now finished in a salt and pepper dry dash and featuring modern window frames.

The front elevation is asymmetrical. A recent panelled timber door, with a plain fanlight above, is positioned on the left side, alongside a modern timber top-hung window. Two similar top-hung windows are located on the first floor. The upper portion of the rear elevation is visible and contains two modern timber windows. A cast iron skylight is situated on the rear slope of the gabled, slated roof. The external walls rest on a smooth, slightly recessed cement plinth. Ridge details consist of PVC rainwater goods and a plain rendered chimney stack on the north side.

Mark Street was laid out in the 1850s and named after Lord Mark (Kerr) McDonnell, the 10th Earl of Antrim. While the house does not appear on the Ordnance Survey map of 1858, it is consistent with a dwelling recorded in the 1859 valuation records. The house now sits within a conservation area.
