Description

Annie Hill is a detached two-storey house built around 1820, located at the end of a short concreted access drive south of Donaghendry Road in Stewartstown. The building overlooks extensive fields to the west, with a large clustered arrangement of returns and outbuildings to the east and south.

The main house is composed of a hipped and pitched rectangular block oriented to the northwest, with a rounded central projection to the front northwest elevation and another similar rounded projection to the side southwest elevation. To the rear northeast is a parallel two-storey hipped return, connected to the main block by a two-storey porch extension to the north; the roof of this linking section slopes inward to form a butterfly roof where it meets the return. Behind the hipped return stands a further two-storey elongated pitched return. A single-storey outbuilding with a metal roof abuts this return to the east. These returns form the northeastern edge of an enclosed rear yard. The southeast boundary is formed by a single-storey pitched outbuilding. The southwest boundary has a two-storey outbuilding to the left and a stepped two-storey outbuilding to the right, with a small single-storey lean-to beyond this, adjacent to the house.

The front northwestern elevation is three bays wide, with the central bay featuring a rounded projection. Windows at ground and first-floor levels are square-headed with timber casement frames, set on painted cut-stone sills. The side northeastern elevation is partially obscured by the two-storey link block, with the main wall showing a rounded projection containing square-headed windows with painted cut-stone sills. The classical proportions reduce to the upper level, although the house is not otherwise classical in style. The southwest elevation also has a rounded projection with two windows of similar character. The rear southeastern elevation is stepped, projecting to the left and recessed to the right, with a square-headed timber sheeted door to the right and an assortment of painted timber casement windows.

The main house has a pitched roof with natural slate, simple replacement brick chimneys with profiled stepped concrete cappings, and cast-iron rainwater goods. The roofs feature overhanging eaves and verges. Walls are finished in roughcast render to the front section and plain render to the rear, all resting on a painted rendered plinth.

The porch extension to the northwest adjoins the main front block and two-storey hipped return. It has a square-headed door to the northwest and square-headed timber casement windows.

The two-storey hipped return to the rear north is parallel to the main block and adjacent to the porch extension. It has square-headed timber casement windows, a pitched roof with natural slate, simple brick chimneys with profiled stepped capping, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The two-storey elongated pitched return directly abuts the hipped return. Its northeastern elevation features square-headed timber casement windows to the ground floor and diamond-shaped windows to the first floor. The southwestern elevation, facing the yard, has a mixture of square-headed windows and doors, some integral with each other. Walls are finished in plain painted render to the left and dry dash render to the right. The roof is pitched with natural slate, with a simple brick chimney to the north and a rooflight to the south pitch.

The single-storey outbuilding adjoining the two-storey return has a large timber casement window to the left and a large square-headed opening to the right with a metal door. The roof is pitched with a corrugated metal covering.

The rear outbuilding forming the southeastern boundary of the yard features a large elliptical-headed coach arch to the left, a large square-headed opening to the centre, and a square-headed timber casement window to the right. External steps leading to the adjacent perpendicular two-storey outbuilding abut this elevation to the right. The south-facing walls are dry dash render with a dentilled stone course at the eaves, while the north-facing walls are brick and snecked stone. The roof is pitched with natural slate, with a square-headed window to the north gable. A further single-storey lean-to adjoins to the north.

The southwest boundary includes a two-storey outbuilding to the left with a cut-stone external stair leading to the first floor, a square-headed timber sheeted door to the first floor, and a further square-headed door to the ground floor. The stepped two-storey outbuilding to the right has a mixture of square-headed windows and doors, with timber casement windows and timber sheeted and half-doors. Beyond this, adjacent to the house, is a small single-storey lean-to with a corrugated flat roof and a square-headed timber sheeted door to the south. External walls are dry-dashed with a stepped render base.
