3 Tollumgrange Road, Chapeltown, Downpatrick, Co. Down, BT30 7SR

Detached symmetrical two-storey three-bay rendered house built around 1875, located at the east end of Tollumgrange Road in Chapeltown. The building has a rectangular plan with a projecting single-storey gabled porch and a two-storey flat-roofed rear extension dating from around 1930.

The roof is pitched natural slate with clipped verges, angled clay ridge tiles, and yellow brick gable chimneystacks topped with gauged brick caps and no pots. Half-round cast-iron rainwater goods run along the eaves. The walls are rendered in block-marked cement with raised quoins at the angles.

Windows are generally margin-paned 1/1 timber sliding sashes with horns and painted stone sills, except for the extension which has concrete sills. The ground floor windows feature decorative nineteenth-century glazing to the margins in blue, red and patterned glass. The principal south elevation is symmetrically composed about the central porch with aligned openings to each bay. The porch itself has a window to the south gable and a six-panelled painted timber entrance door to the west cheek, retaining the remains of a cast-iron knocker and cast-iron knob; the east cheek is blank. The west gable has a single window to the first floor left. The rear elevation is largely obscured by the extension, though the exposed section shows windows to the left and right bays at each floor. The extension has two replacement hardwood entrance doors to the north elevation and two differently sized windows to the first floor; the smaller is a plain 1/1 sash window without margins. The west cheek of the extension has windows at each floor while the east cheek is blank. The east gable has two first-floor windows and is abutted by a framework for an external door separating the front garden from the rear yard.

The house is set back from the road behind a mature garden with fruit trees in the south-east corner. A schist rubble-stone wall with saddleback coping bounds the property, accessed by a wrought-iron pedestrian gate hung on cast-iron piers.

A concrete farmyard to the rear is enclosed on three sides by outbuilding ranges, mostly single-storey with a two-storey barn to the north-west corner. All buildings are slated with walls of mixed schist rubble and in-situ cast concrete. The outbuildings generally lack windows but retain original painted timber sheeted stable doors throughout, some with red brick dressings. The east range has been modified on its yard-facing elevation with semi-circular headed full-height windows and glazed timber doors. Reclaimed patent cast-iron windows have been inserted to the north elevation of the north range, lighting a converted WC block. The barn has external concrete steps with a timber stair gate at mid-level. A secondary farmyard to the west contains two Dutch barns and monopitched concrete outbuildings of little architectural interest. The yards are accessed from the road via wrought-iron field gates with seven rails and nine stiles. A cast-iron cow tail water pump stands to the rear of the house. A late twentieth-century post box is located at the main gate.

The former Ballyedock National School and St Mary's Roman Catholic church are located immediately to the east, with a former glebe house opposite the property.
