Mealmore Lodge, 52 Trassey Road, Clonachullion, (south-west of Bryansford), Newcastle, Co Down, BT33 0QB

Two storey gabled vernacular farm house probably dating from c.1838-39, set to the S side of the Trassey Road, 5.5 miles W of Newcastle, 3.5 SW of Bryansford. The property is flanked to the front by single storey outbuildings, largely enclosing what was once a farm yard. The front façade faces roughly N. To the left of centre is a small gabled porch with a timber sheeted door. To the left of this is a small sash window (vertical glazing bars- 2 panes over 2) with painted on ‘in/out’ dressings. To the right of the doorway are two similar windows. To the first floor are four similar, but smaller windows, which are positioned in line with the ground floor openings. The E gable has a small single storey shed/outbuilding with a corrugated asbestos covered mono-pitched roof, and (to front) a timber sheeted door and metal framed window. To the W gable is a larger single storey gabled section, which has been converted to a garage and has modern garage door to front. This section is abutted at a right angle by another single storey outbuilding with two timber sheeted doors to the E façade with accompanying small windows, a natural slated gabled roof and white washed façade. The rear of the main house has a small window to ground floor right, as front windows but without ‘dressings’. To the right of this is another window with a modern two pane frame. The façade is harled with whitewash to front along with the painted dressings. The roof is covered in natural slate, as is the roof of the garage section to the W. Rendered parapets to main roof. Two rendered chimney stacks (to gables). PVC rw goods. To the E side of the former farm yard in front of the house, is a large one and a half storey former outbuilding, which now appears to be converted to living accommodation [?and a store room]. This has a natural slated gabled roof (with chimney stack), and is rough cast rendered and white washed. To its W façade are two, small four pane windows, with a tiny window high in the N gable. The entrance door is to the E.
