Currraghard Lodge, 109 Tullybrannigan Road, Tullybrannigan, Newcastle, Co Down, BT33 0PW

Curragh ard Lodge is a Regency-style hipped-roof villa dating from circa 1835–40, located at the end of a tarmac drive to the north of Tullybrannigan Road on the western outskirts of Newcastle. The building is largely single storey with return wings and a gabled entrance porch, though one of the wings was increased in height during the 1930s. Originally possessing substantial grounds, the property's setting was altered when Tullybrannigan Road was redirected after 1859, now passing close to the rear of the house. The building is essentially U-shaped, with the wings forming a small courtyard. Behind this courtyard, the ground level rises and single-storey outbuildings are positioned on this higher ground.

The front façade faces roughly east and is symmetrical. At its centre stands a relatively large gabled porch with plain corner pilasters and tympanum. The north face of the porch contains a timber-panelled entrance door with a semicircular fanlight featuring Georgian tracery, its panels merely outlined, approached by three stone steps. The east (gabled) face of the porch has a semicircular arch-headed sash window with Georgian panes (6 panes over 6, with 3 to the arch head) and moulded surround, repeated with less pronounced moulding to the south face. The porch has a bevelled base with a slightly overhanging roof resting on a bracketed eaves course. Both the base and eaves course continue around the outer façades. Either side of the porch on the main front are two flat-arched sash windows with Georgian panes.

The south elevation comprises largely the façade of the south return wing, which has four windows matching those of the main front. At the far left, this merges with a slightly lower utility room section. The north elevation is dominated by the north return wing, raised in height during the 1930s (though single storey where it abuts the main front section). The ground floor has four unevenly spaced windows with a blind window between the second and third. The upper level has three smaller windows. At the far right is a recessed flat-roofed section, possibly added after the 1930s, containing a window to the upper level. Where the north return wing rises above the single-storey main front, a small east-facing section of façade contains a very small four-pane window. The south façade of the north wing has two widely spaced ground-floor windows, with a tall semicircular stairwell-level window near the centre, similar to those on the porch but without surround. The far right upper level has a small window; the far right is recessed. The west features the two-storey flat-roofed section, with a ground-floor window to its south face. The exposed west façade of the north wing has semicircular-headed windows to both ground and upper floors (the upper fixed, not sash), similar to previous examples but without surround. The short exposed west façade of the main front section has a central semicircular-headed window as on the porch, without surround. The north façade of the south wing contains a partly glazed doorway of circa 1930s to the ground floor; to its right, the north face of the attached utility room has a timber-sheeted stable door and two small sash windows (4 over 2).

The outer façade is finished in lined render with bevelled quoins, base, and bracketed eaves course, all painted. The inner façade facing the courtyard is in plain render without base or eaves course. The roof is hipped and covered in natural slate. Four relatively tall rendered chimney stacks feature bevelled bases, coping, and matching pots. Cast-iron rainwater goods are present throughout.

To the west of the courtyard, where ground level rises, steps lead to a farm yard containing single-storey, hipped-roof rubble-built outbuildings to the south and west, and a high wall with gateway to the north. The larger northern outbuilding has various window and door openings, including two very large vehicle openings with timber-sheeted doors. The smaller southern outbuilding appears designed as a piggery, with three arched doorways to the north, a walled-off former sty, and a smaller hipped-roof structure to its east side. All outbuildings are whitewashed. The high wall is rough-cast rendered with a gateway featuring simple square gate pillars with pyramidal caps and timber-sheeted gates. To the immediate northeast of the gateway is a small game store and rubble-and-brick single-storey shed with hipped slated roof and timber-sheeted doorway to the west.
