69 Urbal Road, Coagh, Cookstown, BT80 0DP

This is a detached two-storey mill owner's house, built c.1850. It is roughly rectangular in plan with a two-storey full width lean-to to the rear West. There is a central flat-roofed projecting porch to the front elevation. The house is set on the Eastern end side of Urbal Road. The front East elevation is three windows in width and faces directly onto Urbal Road. The ground floor has a flat roofed projecting entrance porch to the centre. Windows are timber casement with margin panes. The door is square-headed timber panelled with two fluted pilasters to each side. Pilasters support a carved timber frieze. An elliptical-headed fanlight surmounts the frieze. There are single-light sidelights to each side of the door set on cut stone sills. The corners of the porch have larger pilasters supporting a carved projecting stone cornice. Windows to the ground floor and first floor of the house are segmental-headed with 2/2 timber sliding sash frames, set on cut-stone sills. The side South elevation is gable ended. It has a square-headed 6/6 timber sliding sash window to the ground floor. There are two round-headed 7/7 timber sliding sash windows to the first floor. Windows have margin panes. The side North elevation is gable ended and contains no openings. The rear West elevation is largely obscured by the two-storey return. External walls are painted render. The roof is pitched with natural slate with artificial slate patches. There are two matching rendered chimneys to the roof, one at each gable end. The eaves are projecting slightly, with timber-corbelled brackets to the gables. Rainwater goods appear to be cast-iron. Return: The original return was extended to the left side. The rear elevation of the two-storey lean-to has an irregular assortment of square-headed and round-headed timber sliding sash and timber casement windows. There is a square-headed door to the right, accessed by cut-stone steps. Setting: The house fronts directly onto Urbal Road. There is a small garden to the front. There is a near ruinous mill building to the rear. Urbal Road is largely mixed, comprised of buildings from early Victorian to mid-twentieth century. To the rear there is a large but now nearly derelict mill complex. Some portions of the sluice gate and gearing remain.
