4 Stream Street, Downpatrick, Co Down, BT30 6DD

Small, two storey, rubble-fronted terrace house of perhaps c.1800-20, made somewhat plainer in recent years with the removal of its classical door case. There is a modern flat roofed extension to the gable. The building is situated within the terrace at the N end of the E side of Stream Street. The asymmetrical front façade faces W. The ground floor is set at a high level, with the front entrance reached via a raised walkway with simple wrought iron railings and steps to N (next to No.2 Stream St). The front entrance is to the left and consists of a modern panelled and glazed door set in a cement lined recess with brick dressings. This doorway used to have a Greek Revival inspired door case with pilasters an Greek key frieze to entablature. To the right of the doorway are two brick dressed windows with what appear to be sash frames, but which may actually have modern hopper openers [this was not confirmed]. There are three more windows to the first floor, similar to the ground floor only slightly smaller. The S gable is dominated by a large two storey flat roofed extension with modern windows to S and W. To the left at the rear is a large two storey gabled return which has a lower two storey gabled ‘shed’ section to its gable. To the first floor of the S face of the return there is a window with modern frame. The exposed upper section of the gable of the return is blank. Neither the face of the return nor the rear façade of the main house could be seen clearly, but the ground floor of the rear façade appears to be completely covered by a lean-to. The first floor of the N face of the return is blank (the ground floor could not be observed). The front façade is largely rubble finished, as is the N face and gable of the return. The main S gable and modern extension are rendered. The gabled roof is slated with a Velux window to front and [?cast iron] skylight to return. Rendered chimney stack to S. The rw goods appear to be mainly cast iron.
