Dwelling 290m East of 32 Ballintemple Road, Newry, Co Armagh, BT35 8LQ

This is an attractive vernacular dwelling with an outbuilding, situated within the Ring of Gullion Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The house is a single-storey, two-bay building located on the eastern slope of Slieve Gullion, overlooking the Ring of Gullion. It is positioned on a lane west of Ballintemple Road, running north-south. The roof is pitched and covered in natural slate, with tiled skews. Modern brick chimneys are present on each gable; the chimney on the left is newer. The exterior walls retain remnants of whitewashed lime render over random rubble, with patches repaired using cement. The principal, east-facing elevation features a windbreak porch on the right side, with a pitched natural slate roof. The front face of the porch has been cement-rendered and contains a tongue-and-groove (t+g) sheeted door, flanked by blank cheeks. An exposed two-over-two sliding sash window, with a granite cill, is located to the left of the porch. The right bay has a similar window at centre. The left gable is blank. A single, fixed-pane two-over-two window with a granite cill is on the rear elevation, to the right bay. The right gable is blank.

To the north of the house stands a two-storey rubble stone outbuilding aligned east-west. It has a pitched natural slate roof with terracotta tiled skews. The ground floor has two door openings, one on either side of centre. There is one first-floor opening on the right side, now sheeted over. The left gable abuts a set of granite steps leading to a tongue-and-groove loading door at centre. The rear of the outbuilding has a tongue-and-groove sheeted loading door on the first floor left. The right gable is abutted by a single-storey lean-to of no particular interest; the exposed section of the gable wall has a small window opening. The dwelling was first depicted on Ordnance Survey maps from 1906-07 and not on the 1861 edition, suggesting a construction date in the later 19th century. The Valuation Office records do not provide a more precise construction date. The building was recorded as derelict.
