64 Bryansford village, Ballyhafry, Newcastle, Co Down, BT33 0PX

Relatively large, picturesque house with shop of 1864, set on the south-east side of the main road through Bryansford village at its centre. The building is one and a half storeys, constructed on the site of a longer dwelling shown on Ordnance Survey maps of 1834 and 1859.

The front (north-west) façade is generally symmetrical. At its centre is a large projecting gabled bay with a recessed modern glazed door screen at ground floor level, flanked by narrow multi-pane windows. The original doorway was narrower and the flanking windows considerably broader. To the upper level of the bay is a flat roofed oriel window, added around 1960. Near the gable apex is a moulded shield bearing the date 1864. To the left and right of the central bay, the façade is single storey. To the left is a canted bay window, also added around 1960. To the right is a modern shop front bay window. The north-east gable has a large modern window at upper level and merges with a modern single storey flat roofed extension. The south-west gable has a window at upper level and a large modern single light shop window at ground level.

The rear elevation is complex, having been added to at various stages. To the left is a projecting single storey gabled section, blank walled, serving as a shop store room. At the centre is a large gabled bay corresponding to the front bay, with a large modern window at ground floor, a smaller window with modern frame at stair landing level, and another at upper level. To the right is a large flat roofed kitchen extension with modern windows and a conservatory-like lean-to section to the south-west, abutting the central gabled bay.

The façade is finished in plain render and painted. The gabled roof features an overhang with decorative scalloped barges and a finial at the centre front gable. The roof is mainly covered in natural slate, though the store room section has asbestos slate. A single rendered chimney stack rises to the north-east ridge. Metal and PVC rainwater goods are present.

The property may have incorporated a shop from its construction, as it is shown as such in a photograph of around 1890. It likely served as the shop and post office of George Corbett, recorded in Slater's Directory for 1870, a business acquired by Henry Halliday by 1886. The building was extensively renovated around 1960, when the oriel and bay windows were added to the front along with the new shop front. The main entrance doorway was probably widened at this time, with its flanking windows narrowed accordingly. The kitchen extension dates partly from this period, though map evidence suggests it was either further extended or completely rebuilt sometime after 1978.
