16 Urbal Road, Coagh, Cookstown, BT80 0DW

This is an end-of-terrace two-storey cottage, part of a group of four, built around 1930. It is a rare and unusually complete example of 1920s terraced housing, with all four houses in the group surviving in similarly original condition and sharing considerable group value.

The building is rectangular in plan with a single-storey lean-to return to the rear. It has a pitched artificial slate roof without fascia or bargeboards and dashed rendered external walls. The terrace fronts directly onto Urbal Road.

The front northwest elevation facing Urbal Road contains a square-headed timber tongue-and-grooved door with a rectangular glazed panel, positioned left of centre and accessed by a single concrete step. To the right of the door on the ground floor is a square-headed window. Above on the first floor is a square-headed window and an ocular window with concrete sill and hood. The main windows are timber sliding sash with concrete sills: six-over-one panes to the ground floor and three-over-one to the upper floor. The southwest gable elevation has no openings. The rear southeast elevation contains two windows to each floor, matching the pattern of the front elevation. A square-headed tongue-and-grooved door in the southwest elevation of the return provides rear access.

The brick chimney is located on the party wall shared with number 14, featuring a profiled stepped capping and three clay pots. Rainwater goods are a mixture of cast iron and plastic.

The building is well proportioned and detailed. According to valuation records, the short terrace of four dwellings with yards was built in 1927–28 by Jonathan R. Elliott. The original occupant of this house was David Mitchell, alongside Thomas McIvor, James McKnight and John Stirrup in the other three properties. The building currently appears vacant.

The terrace is located on the outskirts of Coagh, with neighbouring houses opposite and to the southwest along the same building line. To the northeast stand 1930s commercial buildings, and further out are a 1930s school and a fine 19th-century church on the village edge. Surrounding residential buildings are mainly two-storey and of similar scale. Many houses have low-walled front gardens. The front door opens directly onto the footpath, and the curtilage to the rear is open and undivided.
