15 Bryansford village (Wyllie Cottages), Ballyhafry, Newcastle, Co Down, BT33 0PT

This is a picturesque, two-storey, semi-detached house, part of a pair built in 1907 for workers employed within the Roden Estate. It is located on the north-west side of the main road through Bryansford village, Newcastle, County Down. The front (south-east) facade is symmetrical. A gabled open porch, with timber supporting piers rising from a low rendered wall to a gabled roof with overhang, decorative barges, a tie beam and a finial, centrally dominates the ground floor. A modern timber and glazed door sits within the porch. Flanking the porch are large windows with tripartite frames that mimic original sash windows, although they have top-hung openers and are set within a moulded surround. Two gabled half-dormers, echoing the porch detailing with barges, tie beams and finials, project from the first floor, each containing a small window with a frame designed to resemble sash windows with vertical glazing bars, but having openers. The west gable is blank, with roof overhang and matching tie beam and finial detailing. At the rear, a large, modern, single-storey, flat-roofed extension is present. While the extension might be original, its current appearance is indicative of a recent renovation; the 1970s Ordnance Survey map does not depict any such extension. A single four-pane window is visible on the rear façade's first floor. The front façade and gable are finished with lined and painted render and bevelled quoins, while the rear façade and extension are finished with limestone chip pebbledash. A granite panel high on the left of the front façade reads "Wyllie Cottages 1907", situated between numbers 15 and 17. The roof is covered in natural slate, identified as potentially containing asbestos. Two rendered chimney stacks are present, with the south-western stack (shared with number 17) appearing recently rebuilt. Rainwater goods are a mix of cast iron and PVC. A part-rendered, part-rubble-built wall encloses a small garden and a tarmac driveway to the front.
