18-22 Stream Street, Downpatrick, Co Down, BT30 6DD

Three storey, stone faced terrace block of perhaps c.1790-1800, containing three former dwelling houses, amalgamated internally in c.1990 and now used as a church hall with offices. The block is set on the sloping E side of Stream Street. The front façade faces W, with the openings to each former house identically arranged. To the ground floor left (on each) is a timber sheeted door with four pane rectangular fanlight and brick dressings (all openings to front are similarly dressed). To the right of this is a sash window with Georgian panes (6/6). To the first floor are two similar windows, and, to the second floor are two, similar, but much shorter, windows (3/6). There are stone steps to the doorway of the central and right (S) doorways. The S gable of the block is blank. To the rear of the block the ground level rises, (the graveyard surrounding the NS Presbyterian church), and the ground floor to the rear is almost basement like. Each former property still retains its enclosed yard, each flanked to the N and S by high rubble walls with retaining wall to the E. The rear elevation has been altered in recent years. The ground floor façade to the rear is rendered with a timber sheeted door and a very small window (with modern frame) to what was the centre and southernmost houses. Each of these former houses also has one small four pane fixed light window to both the first and the second floor. The ground floor of the northernmost former dwelling is now obscured due to the fact that two modern metal walkways span over the enclosed yard from the higher ground to the E. These walkways allow access to two doorways which have been inserted to the first floor and the second floor of the rear façade of the former northernmost house. To the left of the second floor doorway there is a small fixed light window, as former properties to centre and S. The façade is largely rubble finished with sandstone quoins. The gabled roof is slated and there are two brick chimney stacks. Metal rw goods.
