46-48 Fair Road, Greencastle, Kilkeel, Newry, BT34 4LS

A pair of one-and-a-half storey semidetached houses aligned northwest to southeast on the coast at the end of Fair Road, Kilkeel. Both have southwest-facing beach frontages and are built of whitewashed uneven lime render over random rubble.

No. 46 (left of the pair) is two bays wide. It has a pitched natural slate roof with clay ridge and tiled verges. Two gabled wall-head dormers with plain timber bargeboards and decorative finials are set into the front pitch, each with a glazed triangular transom above a single fixed light window with painted concrete cill. Two coped smooth render chimneys without pots sit on the left gable and on the party wall between the first and second bays. The ground floor has a single window to each bay. At first floor, two small 2/2 sliding sash windows sit just below the eaves, one to each bay. A porch abuts the extreme right end of the façade, with pitched natural slate roof, plain bargeboard to its gabled front, and a modern tongue-and-groove replacement timber half door. The porch cheeks are blank. The rear wall matches the façade and is abutted on the left by a single storey modern extension with an almost flat corrugated asbestos roof, painted render walls, and three windows on its rear wall (the right one a 2/2 sliding sash, the others modern top-hung timber). A modern glazed timber porch abuts the extension's left cheek. The extension's right is blank.

No. 48 (right of the pair) is three bays wide, the third bay on the right being a single storey extension. The main block has a pitched natural slate roof with two smooth rendered chimneys without pots, one on the party wall with No. 46 and one on the right gable. Two gabled wall-head dormers with decorative bargeboards and timber finials are set into the façade, each containing a 1/1 exposed box sliding sash with horns and painted concrete cill, diminished in height and width and set in line with ground floor windows. All windows to the main block are 1/1 exposed box sliding sashes with horns and painted concrete cills. One window sits to each bay at ground floor. Walls are whitewashed uneven lime render over random rubble. A porch with pitched rendered roof and replacement decorative bargeboard abuts the left side of the right bay, its cheeks blank and with a modern glazed painted plywood door with painted granite blocks to the base of its frame. The left gable forms the party wall with No. 46; the right is abutted by a single storey annex with a blank wall over. The annex has a pitched artificial slate roof with plastic rainwater goods, tongue-and-groove sheeted door to its left, and a 1/1 sliding sash with narrow painted concrete cill to its right. A sheeted door on the front wall encloses a yard with corrugated plastic roof. The yard's rear wall has a single fixed window with top opening transom. The rear elevation of the main block has no rainwater goods, no ground floor openings, and two 2/2 sliding sashes to the first floor, one to each bay.

Both houses share a common drive with small gardens falling to the beach head, enclosed by painted rubble walls. No. 48's front garden contains a cast iron water pump marked with a 'flag' logo but lacking handle or cap. No. 48 also has a whitewashed outbuilding to its front drive. Each house has a large rear garden; No. 46 has a range of single storey outhouses fronting the shared rear lane.
