60 Island Road, Ballycarry, Larne, Co Antrim, BT38 9JE

This is an early 20th century house of minor local interest, designed and built by William Calwell, a local builder known for constructing the area's first bungalow around 1908. The house is of conventional design and construction.

It is a 1½-storey gabled house with three bays and a basement to the rear. The main entrance faces south. The main elevation is built of clinker brick with red brick dressings around the windows and porch. The roof is covered with asbestos slates and has sprocketed eaves. There is a yellow brick chimney on each gable. The main windows are rectangular timber sash windows, vertically hung with a 1 over 1 configuration, incorporating horns and lattice glazing to the upper sashes. Dormer windows have casement windows. The porch has smooth cement rendered walls, a red quarry tiled floor, a rectangular ledged timber door with an oval glazed panel, and sidelights with five panes of tinted glass. Concrete copings are present on the nib walls of the porch. The west gable is smooth cement rendered with sashed windows that have a 1 over 1 and a 3 over 3 configuration. The rear elevation has similar walling and a variety of window types, along with three original rooflights. The east gable is rendered with a wet-dash finish of stone chippings, incorporating a mixture of sashed and casement windows.

The house stands facing the main road, set well back within its own grounds that include a small rivulet running close to the house. The site slopes down to the rear and has mature trees. A front boundary wall is constructed of plain red brick.

William Calwell, born in 1863 and died in 1953, designed and built the house; the precise date is unknown but it is believed to have been constructed in the 1920s or 1930s. It did not appear on the Ordnance Survey map of 1921 but is shown on the 1965 Ordnance Survey map (Plan 84-14). Calwell lived at number 54 Main Street, a house notable as the first bungalow in the area, designed and built by him around 1908.
