50 Bryansford village, Ballyhafry, Newcastle, Co Down, BT33 0PT

Single storey house with attic, one of a row of four picturesque rubble-built cottages, with roof overhangs, tall chimneys and gabled dormers. The three middle cottages (to which this property partly belongs) were built c.1826, with the cottage, to the SW end of the row (which is now also part of this property), added slightly later c.1830, and that to the NE end, added after c.1859. The group is set on the SE side of the main road running through Bryansford. As outlined above, this particular house has been created from the amalgamation of the small house to the SW end of the row and half of a formerly separate property to the NE. This amalgamation may have been carried out in the early 1900s, but this is not certain. The front façade faces NW and is asymmetrical. To the right is gabled porch with timber and glazed sides, a glazed door and decorative barges. This porch may once have been open (like those to the neighbouring properties). To the left of the porch are two windows with mullioned and transomed multi-pane frames and label moulding over. The front side of the roof has a single gabled dormers with decorative barges and finial, slated sides and multi-pane casement frames. The SW gable has a single storey timber shed attached. To the upper level are two tiny windows one with lattice lights the other with what appears to be a sash frame. To the rear there is a large modern flat roofed extension (which appears to have been built in stages). The front façade is in rubble, the SW gable is rendered. The roof is covered in natural slate and has a large overhang. Velux window to rear. Tall paired chimney stack to NE (shared with No.48) with a plainer rendered chimney stack to SW gable.
