34a-b Downpatrick Street, Crossgar, Co Down, BT30 9EA

Relatively small two storey terrace block, formerly a dwelling of possible pre 1834 origin, but now split into two shops with modern shop fronts. The block is set on the NE side of Downpatrick Street. The front façade faces roughly SW. To the left is No.34a which consists of a modern shop front with multi-pane glazing, with a single window to the first floor with modern frame. There is a traditional style signboard above the shop front. The front façade of.No.34b is largely identical to its neighbour, but with upper level window slightly further to the right, bigger signboard, plastic internally illuminated projecting sign and projecting light fittings. The front façade is rendered and painted. Quoins. Little could be seen of the rear façade of the block, except a first floor window to No.34a. Façade itself appears to be mainly rendered and painted. One suspects there have been significant changes to the rear with the splitting of the block into two properties. The gabled roof is covered in natural slate to the front and asbestos and natural slate to the rear. There is a small cast iron skylight to the rear (to No.34a). Rendered chimney stack to NW, brick stack to SE. PVC rw goods.
