1-17 Caulfield Place, Newry, Co Down, BT35 6AS

Twelve two-bay houses arranged in three separate terraces on the south side of Caulfield Place, a crescent off Corry Square in Newry.

Terraces 1 and 2 comprise numbers 1-3 and 4-7 respectively. These two terraces face each other and form a cul-de-sac, with numbers 3 and 4 positioned to block the south end. All are of similar design. The majority are now derelict, with only number 5 remaining occupied.

All roofs are pitched with natural slates, though many have been removed, and are finished with brick eaves courses. Rainwater goods are missing. Skylights have been inserted into some roofs. Each house has a cement-rendered brick chimney (number 5's has been rebuilt in concrete blocks).

The street-facing walls are cement-rendered over random rubble granite. Rear walls are of unrendered identical material with stepped brick dressings to openings. All windows originally had granite cills, but many have been removed. With the exception of number 5, all window and door openings are now infilled with concrete blocks.

Apart from numbers 3 and 4, the ground floor of each house has a door and single window to the street facade, with two windows on the first floor offset from the openings below. At the rear of each house is a door into a yard, with a single window to an adjoining room and one to a first-floor room. A window on the half landing between ground and first floor aligns with the yard door. Numbers 1 and 7 each have two gable lights at attic level. Number 5 retains a modern door and 1/1 top-hung windows. Original 6/6 sliding sash fenestration survives at the rear of number 7.

Numbers 3 and 4 have their main sections facing into the street between the two terraces and are entered by doors set along the line of their respective terrace. The roofs to these main sections are monopitch with natural slates. Each has a single window at ground and first floor level, with a blind window to each floor where the two houses meet. Their common rear wall is cement-rendered and blank except for a ground floor window to number 3. The yards to Terrace 1 have been demolished. Numbers 4-7 each have a small two-storey outbuilding in the rear yard, accessed from an alley that also serves Terrace 3. Number 6 additionally has a two-storey concrete blockwork return.

Terrace 3 comprises five three-storey houses arranged in two bays, and is the only occupied section, with the exception of number 12 which is derelict. All have gabled natural slate roofs and cement-rendered chimneys positioned at left. Plastic rainwater goods are fitted throughout.

All wall surfaces are cement-rendered, except the rear of number 10 which retains its exposed random granite rubble with brick window trimming. Each house has a ground-floor front door at right with a transom light above, a window at left, and two windows on the first and second floors aligned vertically but offset from ground-floor openings. Top-floor windows are diminished in size. All window openings have granite cills. Numbers 8 and 10 retain their original 2/2 sliding sash frames, though some glazing bars have been removed. The remaining houses have modern 1/1 top-hung replacements. Cement-rendered gable ends finish this terrace.

At the rear, a wall encloses a yard to each house. All rear windows and doors are modern replacements except for numbers 8 and 10, which retain 2/2 sliding sash windows to rear rooms on all floors and identical windows at left to half landings between floors. Flat-roofed extensions have been built onto the backs of numbers 9 and 11.

Number 12 is of L-plan form at the end of the street. Number 13, now demolished, would have had a similar plan, blocking the end of the street in the manner of numbers 3 and 4. Number 12 is entered from a door in line with the terrace, above which is a window. The facade facing up street has a modern horizontal-headed opening through to the rear and one window to each of the upper floors, both 2/2 sliding sash.

Number 8 to the east of numbers 1-7, Terraces 1 and 2 originally faced a terrace comprising numbers 13-22, but this has been cleared to form an open space.
