4 Cloughmore Terrace, Warrenpoint, Newry, Co Down, BT34 3HP

4 Cloughmore Terrace is a late 19th-century terraced house, one of eight identical three-storey, two-bay properties on the north side of Church Street in Warrenpoint. The terrace, which first appears in the Valuation Book of 1879, remains a significant townscape feature despite alterations to some properties. This house is notably little altered and retains most of its original fabric.

The front elevation faces Church Street with a pitched natural slate roof and a large rendered chimney to the left end of the ridge, shared with the adjacent house. The render eaves course features a moulded profile carrying ogee rainwater goods. The walls are lined with render and painted throughout.

The left bay is narrower than the right and contains the main entrance, set within a semicircular-headed opening with a moulded stucco architrave and decorative key block. The door itself is four-panelled with a beaded muntin and raised, fielded and bolection moulded panels, with a plainly glazed radial fanlight above. Directly above the entrance, each upper floor is lit by a single 1/1 sliding sash window with horns. The first-floor window has an architrave matching the doorcase; the second-floor window is plain and slightly diminished in height. A continuous cill course runs at first-floor level across the elevation.

The right bay features a canted bay window rising the full height of the building, with its own canted roof tied into the main roof and sharing common eaves. Each face of the bay window contains a 1/1 sliding sash window with horns, the front window being wider than the side ones. The second-floor windows are slightly diminished in height. A finely dressed granite dwarf wall encloses the small front garden and carries modern wrought metal railings.

The left gable is a party wall shared with the adjacent house to the left. The right gable is a party wall shared with the adjacent house to the right.

The rear (north-east) elevation is abutted to the right bay by a two-storey return. The walls of the exposed rear elevation are rendered and painted to ground-floor level only. On the left side, each floor has a 2/2 (vertically divided) sliding sash window with horns and painted cill; the second-floor window is diminished in height. Between the first and second floors, over the return roof, is a half-landing window of the same type.

The two-storey return has a pitched natural slate roof with a cement-rendered chimney at the centre of the ridge. Its eaves course carries plastic rainwater goods, and walls are rendered and painted to ground-floor level only. The left cheek of the return contains multiple windows: on the ground floor are a timber casement window to the left, a pair of 2/2 sash windows at centre, a 2/2 sash window to the right of centre, and a tongue-and-groove sheeted door with brass knob at the right end. The first floor has three 2/2 sash windows. The end gable of the return features a large steel-framed casement window at ground-floor level and a small casement window serving a toilet at first-floor level to the right.

Enclosing the rear of the small domestic yard is a single-storey outbuilding with a monopitched natural slate roof, rendered and painted walls, and a window and door on its yard-facing wall.

The house dates from the period 1860 to 1879 and is situated in the townland of Ringmackilroy. It is valued for its architectural interest in style, proportion, ornamentation and plan form, as well as for its group value within the terrace and its contribution to the townscape setting. It also has local historical interest.
