'The Schooner' public house, 2-6 Castle Street, Glenarm, Ballymena, Co Antrim, BT44 0AT

Large and prominent, but relatively plain, part three, part two storey end of terrace public house of possible 1830s construction, with rendered façade and modern window frames. The building is composed of three formerly separate properties, which appear to have been amalgamated some time after 1935. The property is situated on the S side of Castle Street, at the junction of Altmore Street Street. The whole front elevation faces N and is asymmetrical. To the left (E) side the three storey section (which is itself symmetrical) has a central panelled double door to the ground floor, framed with fluted pilasters. To either side is a modern top hung timber window. Extending most of the width of this section is a painted timber signboard. To the first and second floors there are a further two similar (but slightly taller) windows. The three storey section is framed with in/out chamfered rendered quoins. To the right W side is the two storey section which is almost symmetrical. To the centre of the ground floor is a small plain door. To either side are large modern timber windows. To the first floor there are three modern top hung timber windows. The E elevation is gabled. To the far left is a modern timber window as before. Directly above is a similar window. To the centre of the second floor there are two similar windows. The gable is framed with in/out quoins. The building is ‘L’ shaped; the rear elevations form the crux of the ‘L’ and are therefore relatively short. These face onto very small open yard areas with high surrounding walls (and which is difficult to observe and difficult to photograph). Windows and doors are all modern.. The front and E elevations are finished in plain painted render with in-out quoins to three-storey section. The rear is in plain unpainted render. To the E and W ends of the ridge are plain rendered chimneystacks. Natural slate roof covering to the gabled roofs; cast iron rw goods to the front and PVC rw goods to the rear;
