5 Coastguard Terrace, The Harbour, Kilkeel, Newry, Co Down, BT34 4AU

One of a terrace of five two-storey houses with attic storey, set in two bays overlooking Kilkeel Harbour. This is the left house in a group of four almost identical properties. The principal elevation faces south-east.

The roof is pitched with natural slate, featuring a wide leaded ridge, plain bargeboards, and boxed eaves with half-round metal rainwater goods. Two skylights pierce the rear pitch. A square-section chimney rises from the front eaves at the left, decorated with a band of yellow, black, and yellow brick around its middle and again towards its corbelled top. A second, lower chimney of similar design rises to the roof apex.

The principal elevation is brick construction on a painted smooth-rendered base with chamfered detail. A crow-stepped yellow brick quoin marks the left edge. Courses of yellow brick run horizontally across the façade at ground and first floor cill level. A three-course band of yellow, black, and yellow brick (matching the chimney treatment) runs near the top of the windows on both floors and rises over their heads, which are topped with black brick ornamental keystones. This variegated brickwork pattern continues across the terrace façade.

The main entrance, positioned to the right, comprises a nine-panel door with six glazed panels and a plain transom above. To its left is a pair of 4/1 sliding sashes. All windows are painted timber with shallow segmental heads and stooled granite cills. The first floor has an identical but diminished pair of 4/1 windows at centre. A roof dormer contains a pair of 1/1 sashes to the front with painted blank cheeks.

The left gable displays the variegated brick string courses running front to rear, above which is a large circular course of yellow brick with black bricks at the cardinal points. Horizontal bands of yellow, black, and yellow brick radiate from this feature. A crow-stepped yellow brick quoin also marks the left edge.

The rear elevation has ogee metal gutters. A two-storey return abuts the left side, with one half belonging to the adjoining No. 4. The exposed main block section is brick with a three-course yellow, brick, yellow band across the upper floor window and a course of yellow brick at first floor cill level. At ground floor right is a pair of 4/1 sashes; at first floor is a 6/3 sash.

The return has a pitched natural slate roof tied into the main roof's rear slope, plain eaves boards, and square metal gutters. Red brick walls carry matching embellishment to the rear elevation. Its north-west facing gable has a flat-headed opening containing a five-panel painted timber door with glazed top panel and plain transom. A small circular electric light is affixed beneath the opening's head. The right cheek (facing the yard) has two small 2/2 sashes at ground floor and a single 2/2 sash at first floor, with various cast-iron downpipes.

The ground to front and side is gravelled. At the rear stands a small flat-roofed shed, shared with No. 4.
