10 Main Street, Seaforde, Naghan, Downpatrick, Co Down, BT30 8PA

Tudoresque, double-fronted two storey house with large gabled half dormers and tall prominent chimney stacks, one of a broken terrace of former estate workers’ cottages of c.1840, originally containing eight small dwellings, a smithy and a store. The whole grouping was acquired by Hearth and renovated in 1983-84, when each pair of houses were amalgamated to form four larger properties, with the smithy (this building) and the store converted into two further dwellings. In the process the redundant doorways to the front were made into small windows and another large gable was added to the rear of all houses. The buildings are set on the S side of Main Street, near the centre of the small village of Seaforde. There is an open lawn to front and enclosed gardens to the rear. The front façade faces N and is asymmetrical. To the left of centre is a timber sheeted door. To the immediate left of this is a casement window with four (vertically arranged) panes to each light. Both the door and window are set within a segmental arch headed recess, which was originally the door to the forge. To the right of this is a larger window in similar style to before. To the first floor (within the large gabled half-dormers) are two much smaller casement windows, similar in style to those on ground floor. To the rear there is a timber sheeted door with a casement window to either side (as front), with that to the left larger. To the first floor left there is a gabled half-dormer with window, as front. The façade is rendered and painted. The gabled roof is covered in natural slate with two Velux windows to the rear. Large chimney stack to E, (shared with No.12), with three tall pots positioned in ‘diamond’ formation. Metal rw goods.
