Description
Donaghenry Rectory is a three-storey slated and gabled roughcast house of the early 19th century, with attics and a basement storey. It stands in a rural setting well back from the public road within its own grounds near Stewartstown.
The main elevation faces west. The walling is roughcast with a plain projecting sandstone eaves course. The roof is of Bangor blue slates in diminishing courses, with two chimneys positioned one on each gable, smooth cement rendered with a moulded cornice. Rainwater goods comprise moulded metal guttering which returns to a circular downpipe on the north gable. The west elevation rises from a basement storey partially exposed within a basement well and contains four windows wide to the upper floors. Windows are rectangular timber vertically hung sliding sashes without horns, set in smooth rendered reveals with projecting stone cills. Those on the ground and first floors are glazed 6 over 6, while the second floor has 3 over 3 lights. A single 3 over 3 window with horns occupies the left-hand end of the basement. The second window from the right on both upper floors are blind windows.
The main entrance is recessed in smooth rendered reveals and comprises a new rectangular timber 6-panelled door surmounted by a semi-circular fanlight with fanned glazing in thick bars, flanked on each side by narrow 3-pane side lights. The entrance is approached by an arching bridge constructed of curved iron girders paved with small concrete setts and bordered by iron railings of 19th-century style.
The north gable is of similar roughcast walling and rises through four storeys with the basement completely exposed. Windows are rectangular timber sashes, with two to the basement and one to each of the other storeys, all sashed 2 over 2 with horns except the top one which is 3 over 3 without horns. A downpipe is positioned at each extremity with guttering returning from the front and rear elevations. A basement doorway comprises a semi-circular arched timber boarded door containing three glazed panels, set in an arched opening with plain reveals.
The east or rear elevation is four windows wide of three storey height with the basement storey completely exposed. Roofing, walling and rainwater goods follow the pattern of the front. Windows are all sashed, matching those of the ground floor on the entrance front. A rectangular glazed and panelled timber door is set in plain reveals in the basement storey, second opening from the left.
The south gable is similar to the north but without downpipes and containing only two windows: a sashed 3 over 3 without horns in the attic storey and a sashed 1 over 1 with horns in the ground floor.
The house is approached by a driveway leading to a gravelled area in front of the main entrance bordered by hedges and lawns. The driveway continues past the house through an archway in a rendered screen wall to a yard on the north side, partially enclosed by an L-shaped two-storey rendered outbuilding. To the north-west of the house is a walled garden containing both derelict and restored sections of rubble walling. One portion nearest to the house terminates in a tall bellcote tower constructed of cut sandstone. The immediately surrounding area contains well-kept gardens. The main entrance gateway comprises a set of chamfered stone piers with curved screen walls and railings, though the vehicular gates are missing.
