Former school house, 79 Bryansford village, Aghacullion, Newcastle, Co Down, BT33 0PT

Single storey former school house of c.1823, now converted to a dwelling. The property is set on the N of the main road running through Bryansford village, next to the junction with the Upper Burren Road. The building has an odd plan with the basically rectangular former school house the main front section to the front and an L shaped return to the rear. The front (SE) façade has a left of centre hipped roof porch with multi-pane early to mid 20th century ‘Georgian’ window to the SE face and a partly glazed (c.1950s) doorway to the NE. Originally this porch had another doorway to the SW (one for girls and one for boys, as it were). To the left of the porch is a multi-pane window with upper hopper opener. To the right of the porch are two similar windows, with that to the far right narrower. The far right portion of the front façade is set back slightly. The SW elevation consists of the SW façade of the rear return (to the left) and the short SW façade of the main front section (to right). The return façade has three windows of various size (all relatively small), with metal frames. The SW façade of the main section has a window similar to front. The NE elevation consists of the short NE façade of the main front section (to the left) and the exposed NE façade of the rear return (to right). The short NE façade of the main front section is actually a gable, and has a single window, as front. The façade of the return has two relatively large windows with distinctive geometric lights. The SE facing gable of this portion of the return has a similar window. The rear elevation consists exclusively of the NW façade of the return. This façade has a gable to either end and a flat roofed section in the middle. The gable ends both have recent looking projecting ‘lean-to’ bays with modern windows, whilst there is a timber sheeted door to the flat roofed centre section. This central section may once have been an open yard, but it now appears to be roofed over, linking the two gabled portions. The façade is finished in rough cast render and unpainted. The roof is hipped and gabled and appears to be mainly covered in natural slate. Single rendered chimney stack between main front section and return. Cast iron rw goods.
