Dunscoy, 64 Donaghaguy Road, Warrenpoint, Newry, Co Down, BT34 3PR

Dunscoy is a 19th-century house standing on the south side of Donaghaguy Road in Warrenpoint. The building has been substantially altered and retains no features of architectural interest.

The house is one and a half storeys, roughly square in plan, and has been enlarged with its roof profile altered, giving the end gables a notably wide appearance. The pitched roof is covered in new heavy artificial tiles with crested terracotta ridge tiles and boxed eaves. Two rendered chimney stacks project from the front pitch, one to each gable, each topped with a single yellow octagonal pot.

The principal elevation faces west. The walls are painted and line rendered. The front pitch contains three large hipped dormers, each fitted with a pair of modern casement windows with glazed cheeks. The central entrance door is modern painted timber with three-quarter height plainly glazed sidelights, set at the centre of the principal elevation and approached by two granite steps. The door is flanked to each side by a large canted bay with moulded cornice and balustraded parapet. The cheeks of these bays contain a fixed timber window with a stained glass transom; the front window has a pair of one-over-one casements, and all cheeks share a common hood mould and cill.

The left (north) elevation has a modern timber door with strap hinges, flanked by two modern windows—one one-over-one and one mimicking a sliding sash but actually top hung. At attic level are three equally spaced two-over-two windows. The rear elevation is entirely modern, with a similar door to the left and three windows to the right consisting of paired two-over-two lights and individual two-over-two lights. The right section of the rear roof has two dormers matching those on the front pitch. A two-storey rear return extends to the left, constructed entirely in modern materials and advancing beyond the line of the right gable of the main block. The right gable of the main block and the front-facing cheek of the rear return are abutted by a large modern conservatory. The exposed wall section is blank.

The front garden is lawned and enclosed by a rubble stone wall to the north, a modern concrete block wall to the west, and a fence to the south. A small screen with rendered square piers (recessed moulded panels and gable-coped caps) fronts the modern gate; similar terminal piers stand at each end. To the rear is a yard containing a two-storey rubble stone outbuilding of no architectural interest.

The house appears on the 1834 Ordnance Survey 6-inch map and is described in the 1835 Valuation Book as measuring 31 feet by 23 feet 6 inches by 13 feet high. Similar measurements appear in the 1863 Valuation, and the constancy of its rateable valuation suggests the building remained relatively unaltered until renovation in the 1920s and more recent works. A contemporary survey record from 1997 documents the house as having originally possessed chimney gables plus return rendered smooth with a corbel course, a roof of natural slate with red crested ridges to the main building and plain blue-grey ridge to the return, bracketed eaves, and two canted dormers plus a central dormer with flat face. The windows were described as a variety of sliding sashes to ground floor, with fixed lights containing 1920s coloured glass and casements at the rear. The principal elevation was symmetrical with a door case at centre, dated circa 1820, with renovations circa 1920.
