33 Patrick St, Newry, Co Down

Right one of a pair of town houses symmetrically arranged around a central coach arch and facing directly on to the east side of Patrick St. This building is three-storeys/ three-bays wide, including the bay over the coach arch. Pitched artificial slate roof with concrete brick chimney at right, and a part-rendered clay brick chimney at left (shared with no.35). Half-round metal rainwater goods. The walls are painted and cement rendered and rise up to form a flat-roofed dormer over the top floor windows. The coach arch at left has dressed vee-jointed granite jambs and imposted semi-elliptical head. It contains two vertically-sheeted timber doors, that to the left with a small wicket gate. Its right-hand jamb is shared with the opening into the house proper. This has a 10-panel reproduction door set in a pilastered casing (also a replica) over granite base stones and with an original curved iron fanlight above. At right is a large modern rectangular picture window with metal roller shutter. The first floor contains three regularly-spaced 1/1 top-hinged plastic windows. There is a large suspended shop sign between the left two windows. The eaves have been raised to accommodate a dormer. This contains three windows identical to those on the floor below. All the window cills are painted; those to the first floor may be granite, but those on the second floor seem to be concrete. A lower house abuts the building at right; the exposed gable above is cement rendered. No original openings survive on the two left bays of the rear wall as a two-storey return (probably very recent) now abuts. This has a pitched artificial slate roof and cement-rendered walls. Above its junction with the rear wall is a flat-roofed dormer, its window now sheeted over. Above the coach arch at right is a 1/1 top-hinged timber window to each of the two upper floors.
