Description
Single storey, split level, sexton’s house of c.1835 with hipped roof and semicircular headed windows, which appears to have been lengthened some time after 1858. The building is set next of the gateway to Kilmore Presbyterian Church, and is said to have been built to prevent body snatching from the adjacent graveyard. The whole church ensemble is sited to the E side of Drumaghlis Road, roughly 3½ miles E of Ballynahinch. The asymmetrical front façade faces roughly S. To the left of centre is a relatively modern looking semicircular headed timber sheeted door with glazed semicircular panel. To the left of this is a semicircular headed sash window with Georgian panes (9/6). To the right of the doorway is a similar window. The short W façade has a small window with modern frame. The E façade is abutted by a single storey gabled stable, which is entered from the N, where the ground level is much lower. Due to the drop in ground level to the N, the N façade of the house is two storey. To the ground floor there is a timber sheeted door, then a small boarded up window opening, then a boarded up doorway, then another timber sheeted door, and, to far right, another boarded up window opening. The N façade of the stables consists of paneled ‘screens’ / doors set between three cast iron columns. The façade of the house is finished in rough cast render. The hipped roof is slated and has a single yellow brick chimney stack. Cast iron rw goods. Curving rubble wall to W side of house. Decorative iron pedestrian gate to E.
