Description
Streamville is a two-storey, three-bay farmhouse with a narrow rear pile and large rear return, set in mature grounds with gate piers, drive, and rear yard containing outbuildings. The principal elevation faces south-east.
The main front elevation has a pitched natural slate roof with half-round painted metal rainwater goods and two rendered and corbelled chimneys, one to each gable, each topped with decorative terracotta pots. The walls are unpainted lined cement render with V-channelled stepped stucco quoins. At ground floor, the central bay contains a single-storey flat-roofed porch with a flat lead roof. The porch walls match the façade and each cheek is framed by corner pilasters with plain capitals supporting a plain frieze and moulded cornice. The main entrance, on the right cheek, is a four-panelled raised and fielded door with a granite step. The front and left cheeks of the porch each have an 8/8 sliding sash window with horns. The left and right bays at ground floor each contain a 6/6 margin-paned sash window with horns. At first floor, three 1/1 sash windows with horns are equally spaced. All windows throughout have dressed granite cills. The left gable has two window openings, one to each floor, both 6/6 sashes with horns.
The rear elevation is abutted on the right by part of the gable of the larger rear return and on the left by the narrow rear pile. The rear return runs perpendicular to the main block with a pitched natural slate roof higher than that of the main block. It cat-slides at its left side to abut the right gable apex of the rear pile and has a single chimney stack to each gable. The walls match the main block with quoins to the rear corners. The gable facing the main house is blank where it does not abut. Its right cheek has an 8/8 sash window with horns to both ground and first floors on the right, and a narrower 1/1 sash to the first floor left. The rear gable of the return has two 6/6 sash windows at ground floor and a smaller 6/6 sash with horns at first floor left. The left cheek has a four-panelled painted timber bolection-moulded door with, above on the first floor, a 6/6 sliding sash with horns.
The rear pile, parallel with the main block, has a pitched natural slate roof with a chimney at its left end. Its 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. At first floor left is a 6/6 sash window with horns and obscured glass, and at right a stained and leaded window matching that below. The left gable of the rear pile is flush with the right gable of the main block and has a 1/1 sash window with horns at ground floor. The right gable is completely abutted by the larger rear return. The right gable of the main block has a 1/1 sash window with horns to each floor, that at ground floor being smaller and set slightly more to the right.
The entrance from Loughbrickland Road is flanked by a curving rubble granite wall. The wide tree-lined driveway is framed by ashlar granite gate piers with chamfered bases, panelled front and rear cheeks, and swept moulded pyramidal copings. The right pier has a rounded metal pedestrian gate with five horizontal bars and one diagonal bar. Formerly there were two additional gate piers within this opening containing carriage gates; these piers are now dismantled and stored in the garden. The driveway splits as it approaches the house, 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 is asphalted, formerly cobbled, and is separated from the front by a rubble stone wall with a small pedestrian gate at the junction with the house. The yard is enclosed on the left by a modern outbuilding of no architectural interest. At the junction with the rear return is a pair of tall rendered rubble gate piers carrying two flat iron gates with twisted finials. At the back of the yard stands 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 the openings. On the right side of the yard is a small single-storey outbuilding of similar construction, with a pair of gates at the rear leading to the modern farmyard beyond.
