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

31 Bryansford village is a picturesque rubble-built house of one and a half storeys with a gabled roof, forming one half of a semi-detached pair. The buildings likely date to before 1834, possibly originating around 1820–1839. The property may have been built as labourers' cottages for workers on the Roden Estate.

The front south-east facing façade is symmetrical, constructed in dark fieldstone rubble with granite quoins. At its centre stands a gabled porch with a modern panelled door and fanlight containing patterned glass. To the left and right of the porch are matching sash windows with vertical glazing bars in a 2 over 2 configuration, fitted with brick dressings (which appear to be recent additions) and eyebrow moulding. The south-west gable is finished in cement render and contains an upper-level window similar to those on the front but without brick dressings or moulding.

The main roof and porch roof are covered in natural slate with plain barge boards and overhang detail. A single rendered chimney stack rises from the centre of the main roof ridge, either replaced or re-rendered in recent times. Cast iron and PVC rainwater goods are fitted throughout.

The rear elevation is dominated by a large modern two-storey extension with a shallow gabled roof and cement render façade, which has effectively doubled the size of the original building. The exposed section of the original rear façade is finished in cement render. A Velux window serves the rear elevation.

A low rendered wall encloses the front garden.

The property underwent comprehensive renovation around 1984–1985, when the rear extension was added and the interiors were modernised. The 1834 Ordnance Survey map shows buildings on this site that likely correspond to the houses visible today, and they may have been among the seventeen cottages in Bryansford noted in the 1836 Ordnance Survey Memoirs. The 1863 valuation records residents as Mary McAnally and John Cunningham, valuations at that date showing £1–5–0 and 15 shillings respectively, despite the properties appearing to have been largely identical throughout their history.
