Woodside, 9 King Street, Newcastle, Ballaghbeg, Co Down, BT33 0HD

Woodside is a picturesque two-storey house dating from circa 1840–50, built as the residence for Lord Annesley's land steward in the Newcastle area. The house is located on the north-east edge of Donard Wood, close to the entrance to the former Donard Lodge estate.

The building was originally conceived in a roughly cruciform plan with projecting gabled bays to all sides and overhanging eaves with decorative barge boards. The main entrance is positioned on the north face of a central projecting two-storey porch, set within a smooth cement band and featuring a margined fanlight above a panelled timber door. The east-facing front of this bay has a modern multi-pane window with moulded surround and drip moulding to both ground and first floors, with the ground floor opening being slightly taller. The south side of the bay is blank. Flanking the central porch, single-storey sections of façade contain single windows to both sides, much as in the original design. The north and south façades have two-storey gables, each with a smaller first-floor window without drip moulding. External walls are finished in roughcast with vertical smooth cement bands at each external corner.

The house was extended in the late 1970s with the addition of single-storey lean-to sections to the rear, including lean-tos on the south gabled bay and to the west elevation. A central gabled two-storey section rises above these extensions and has two multi-pane windows, the right-hand example being considerably smaller. The north façade includes a side lean-to extension with a modern door providing access to apartment B. All original sash windows were replaced with modern multi-pane versions during the 1970s renovation.

The roof is finished in artificial slates with overhanging eaves featuring shaped barges to some gables. Two tall rendered chimney stacks serve the building. PVC rainwater goods are fitted. External walls display the later alterations, with lean-to extensions adding modern multi-pane windows to south and west faces.

In the early 1990s, the property was converted into two apartments. The house appears on the 1859 Ordnance Survey map. Henry Douglas is recorded as the occupier in the 1863 valuation. Outhouses likely dating from the 20th century stand to the rear of the house.
