46 Mill Road, Kilcoo village, Fofannyreagh, near Hilltown, Co Down, BT34 5UZ

This is a part single, part two-storey gabled house likely built in the mid-19th century, specifically between 1840 and 1859. It is situated on the north-western side of Mill Road, approximately one mile south of the village of Kilcoo and around four and a half miles northeast of Hilltown. It was possibly constructed as a residence for a steward employed by the Roden Estate, and its design resembles a nearby house serving a similar purpose.

The asymmetrical front façade faces southeast. To the left is the two-storey section, distinguished by its gabled front. Slightly set back to the right is the single-storey section, which features a partly glazed entrance door, flanked by sash windows with vertical glazing bars (two panes over two). The two-storey section has matching windows on both floors. The south-western façade, which is two-storey, has a ground-floor window with a modern metal frame, which may be a later addition. To the left of this facade, a high wall, possibly an extension, connects the house to a neighbouring two-storey outbuilding, with a timber sheeted door providing access. A small, gabled shed abuts the right side of the SW façade. The north-eastern (single-storey) gable is blank. Access to the rear of the property is not available. The façade is rendered and unpainted, with plant growth obscuring the southern corner.

The roof is covered in natural slate, with a rendered chimney stack on the north-east gable and a taller one rising from the junction of the one- and two-storey sections. Cast iron rainwater goods are present. The neighbouring two-storey outbuilding is constructed of rubble and features an elliptical arched vehicle doorway on the front (southeast side), flanked by pedestrian doors. A loft doorway is located on the first floor. A single-storey section with a single doorway extends from the south-west gable of the outbuilding. All the outbuilding’s doors are timber sheeted, and its front façade is harled and whitewashed. Both sections of the outbuilding have gable roofs covered in natural slate.

A building is depicted on the Ordnance Survey map of 1859, likely corresponding to the current house. Ann Alexander Halliday was listed as the occupant in the valuation returns of 1863, when the house was valued at £5-10-0.
