Site of former house off Nutgrove Road, Annadorn, near Seaforde, Downpatrick, Co Down

Site, to the N side of Nutgrove Road c.2 miles NE of Seaforde, of a small single storey dwelling of c.1840 built to serve as the gate lodge to Nut Grove House, now demolished with modern house currently under construction. The building was described in the first survey of February 1978 as a ‘Single storey cottage with three angle [canted] front end. Roof hipped, slated and gabled [to] N end. Chimneys rendered. Twin corbelled eaves. Walls rendered, painted white. S front to road has sheeted entrance door and two light drop hung [sash] windows, no astragals on right hand angle. Some windows on E flank wall. Decorative cast iron gate at front. Condition poor and somewhat derelict. Front about 15ft’. The site is now occupied by the shell of a modern two storey house (work on which appears to have been suspended).
