15 Altmore Street, Glenarm, Ballymena, Co Antrim, BT44 0AR

Substantial, relatively plain, two storey end of terrace building of probable pre 1832 construction, whose formerly asymmetrical (almost vernacular) front façade was altered in c.2000 to present a greater degree of formality. The property was originally slightly longer, taking in the now separate small dwelling to the south, and may possibly have originally faced in the opposite direction, the present rear elevation appearing much more formal than the front (even in its present altered form). The property is set at the north end of a short stretch of terrace on the west side of Altmore Street. The front elevation faces E and is asymmetrical. Slightly to the left of centre is a (recent) panelled timber door with plain fanlight. To the left is a single double glazed sash window with ‘glazing bars’ sandwiched between two panes to give the effect of Georgian panes. To the right of the doorway are two similar windows, with five more, unevenly spaced, to the first floor The front façade is rendered with in-out bevelled quoins. The openings all have smooth cement surrounds. Previous to the recent alterations there was a window at stair landing level to the right of the door, with four windows to the first floor instead of five, and two to the ground floor, as opposed to three. The N gable is blank and finished as front. To the ground floor at the rear there is a right of centre doorway with recent panelled and glazed door and plain rectangular fanlight. To the left of the door are two (timber) sash windows. To the right is a single window with PVC frame. To the first floor are four evenly spaced windows, as ground floor right. The façade is finished in unpainted rough cast. As stated above, this façade has a much more regular appearance than that to E, and its windows are larger. The doorway now leads onto a raised paved area, under which there is now a garage. This whole paved area is of recent construction, the sloping ground to the rear of the property having been excavated to allow for the garage. The gabled roof is slated and has [?rendered] parapets and two rendered chimneystacks. There is a small skylight to E. Cast iron and PVC rw goods.
