Streamville, 66 Loughbrickland Road, Rathfriland, Newry, Co Down, BT34 5BY

Streamville is a two-storey, three-bay farmhouse with a narrow rear pile and a large rear return that is higher than the main block. The principal elevation faces south-east, with a set-back single-storey porch to the central bay at ground floor.

The front elevation has rendered and unpainted lined cement render walls with V-channelled stepped stucco quoins. Two rendered and corbelled chimneys, each topped with decorative terracotta pots, sit one to each gable. The pitched natural slate roof is fitted with half-round painted metal rainwater goods.

The porch has a flat lead roof and rendered walls, with corner pilasters to each cheek supporting a plain frieze and moulded cornice. The main entrance on the right cheek consists of a four-panelled raised and fielded door with a granite step. The front and left cheeks each have an 8/8 sliding sash window with horns. At ground floor level to the left and right bays are 6/6 margin paned sash windows with horns. Three 1/1 sash windows with horns are equally spaced across the first floor. All windows throughout have dressed granite cills.

The left gable contains two window openings, one to each floor, both 6/6 sashes with horns.

The rear return runs perpendicular to the main block with a higher pitched natural slate roof that cat slides at the left side to meet the right gable apex of the rear pile. It has chimneys to each gable and walls matching the main block with quoins to the rear corners. The gable facing the main block is blank where it does not abut. Its right cheek has 8/8 sash windows at both ground and first floor on the right, and a narrower 1/1 sash to the first floor left. The rear gable has two 6/6 sash windows at ground floor and a smaller 6/6 sash with horns at first floor left. A four-panelled painted timber bolection moulded door is on the left cheek, with a 6/6 sliding sash with horns above on the first floor.

The rear pile runs parallel with the main block with a pitched natural slate roof and chimney to the left end. Walls match the main block with quoins to the left corner only. At ground floor centre is a 1/1 sash window with horns, and to its right a taller stained and leaded window. The first floor has a 6/6 sash with horns and obscured glass to the left, and a stained and leaded window as that below to the right. The left gable, which is flush with the right gable of the main block, has a 1/1 sash window with horns at ground floor. The right gable is completely abutted by the rear return. The right gable of the main block has 1/1 sash windows with horns to each floor, the ground floor example being smaller and set slightly to the right.

The entrance from Loughbrickland Road is flanked by a curving rubble granite wall and a wide tree-lined driveway framed by ashlar granite gate piers. These piers have chamfered bases, panelled front and rear cheeks, and swept moulded pyramidal copings. The right pier supports a rounded metal pedestrian gate with five horizontal bars and one diagonal bar. Two further gate piers formerly within this opening, which contained carriage gates, are now dismantled and located in the garden.

The driveway splits as it approaches the house, with the right fork leading to the rear yard and the left fork framed by a pair of plain rendered gate piers without copings, carrying wrought iron gates with thin section bars, dog bars, and interwoven hooped tops. The garden contains lawns, shrubs, and mature trees. The rear yard, now asphalted but formerly cobbled, is separated from the front by a rubble stone wall with a small pedestrian gate at the join with the house. A modern outbuilding of no architectural interest encloses the left side of the yard. At the join with the rear return is a pair of tall rendered rubble gate piers carrying two flat iron gates with twisted finials. A two-storey rubble granite outbuilding brought to courses, with a pitched natural slate roof, external stairs to the first floor, and red brick dressings to openings, stands at the back of the yard. A small single-storey outbuilding of similar construction is on the right side of the yard, with a pair of gates at the rear leading to the modern farmyard beyond.

The opposite gates on Loughbrickland Road frame the gate lodge (HB16/09/014), which adds group value to the property.

Cartographic evidence shows buildings on this site on the 1833 Ordnance Survey 6-inch map but not in their present configuration, which first appears on the 1860 map. The house is captioned as "Streamville" on the latter map. The evidence suggests a mid-19th century rebuild, possibly incorporating parts of an earlier house, though a second valuation of around 1862 notes the property as dilapidated and requiring repair, valued at £6. It retained this valuation through the 19th and 20th centuries, suggesting minor refurbishment rather than a total rebuild.
