1-3 Tullyveery Road, Tullyveery, Killyleagh, Co. Down, BT30 9TD

A pair of estate workers' houses dating to around 1900, now combined into a single property and extensively altered in recent years with large rear extensions and gable additions. The property is located on the northeastern side of Tullyveery Road, approximately two miles northwest of Killyleagh. Originally, each house was entered through its main gable. The current main entrance is a large gabled porch on the left side of the northeastern gable, featuring a timber-sheeted door and a PVC corner window. To the right of the porch are a pair of French doors, which replaced the original entrance. Above are windows with painted brick dressings and PVC frames. The southwestern facade is symmetrical, with two double sash windows on the ground floor featuring four-over-four glazing typical of the Edwardian Domestic Revival style, and two gabled half dormers with PVC windows. All ground floor windows have painted brick dressings, similar to those on the northwest gable. The southeastern gable has two relatively small PVC windows on the ground floor, centered and slightly to the right. To the right of these windows is a small projection with a monopitched roof that connects to a flat-roofed extension further to the right. A matching window is located on the upper level of the northwestern gable. The original rear facade is now entirely covered by extensions, including a full-height hipped roof extension to the left and a single-storey lean-to-like extension to the right, both featuring modern windows of various sizes. The facade is finished with a recent Tyrolean-like render and a plain rendered recessed base. The main roof is gabled, with an overhang and a central chimney stack in brown-ish cream brick. The roof is covered in a mixture of asbestos and asbestos-free slate, and contains PVC rainwater goods. Originally, these were two separate estate workers' houses, likely associated with nearby Tullyveery House, and reportedly occupied by the coachman and gardener’s families. The current owner acquired the property in 1980, by which time the houses had been combined, and a porch had been added to the northwestern gable, along with the lean-to extension to the rear. The large full-height rear extension was added after 1980.
