Former steward's house, 4 Hilltown Road, Tollymore Park, Newcastle, Co Down, BT33 0PX

Large, irregular, part two, part single storey house of c.1855, whose complex appearance may have been the result of a radical re-modelling c.1900. The property is located within Tollymore Park, close to at the Bryansford village entrance to park, and is believed to have originally served as the residence for the former demesne’s head steward. The front elevation faces W and is asymmetrical. To left and centre, it is double pile (i.e. there are two gabled bays), with a single storey section to the right (S). The main entrance is to the right gable and consists of a panelled timber door with flanking two pane windows (which look like sash windows). To the floor directly above this is a relatively large with a frame which resembles tripartite sash but which appears to be fixed light. The gable to the left of this is taller. It has a window to the both floors, both as first floor right gable. The single storey portion to the right of the right gable has a similar window. The N elevation consists solely of the N façade of the taller gabled section, referred to above, which appears to be blank. The S elevation is single storey and double pile, with both gables having an uneven roof pitch. To the left gable is a window with tripartite frame, as front. To the right gable is a large modern fixed light window. To the right the right gable merges with a lean-to section which has a timber sheeted doorway to S. The E elevation consists of the E façade of the lean-to section (to the left) and the E façade of the main two storey double pile section, to the centre and right. The E façade of the lean-to is obscured by bushes but appears to be blank. The (lower) two storey gable to the immediate right of this has two windows to the first floor (both with modern frames) and a four pane window to the first floor (which resembles a sash window). The taller gable to the right of this has a single window to both floors both with sash frames (vertical glazing bars- 2 panes over 2). The façade is finished in lined render and painted. The roof has an overhang with the barge boards to the N on the lower two storey gabled section cutting across the façade of the taller two storey section to the N. The barges to the E end of the roof of the lower two storey section are pierced, all of the others are plain. Both the two storey sections have tall rendered chimney stacks, with that to the N rising from the eaves and that to the S rising from the roof ridge. The right (E) portion of the double pile section to the S has a small cast iron skylight to its roof. All sections of the roof are covered in natural slate. Cast iron rw goods.
