Dwelling off Ferryhill Road 340m SSW of No 31 Ferryhill Road, Newry, Co. Armagh, BT35 8RT

This is a well-proportioned vernacular dwelling, likely constructed between 1880 and 1899, situated approximately 340 metres southwest of number 31 Ferryhill Road, Newry, County Armagh. The house is a two-story, two-bay structure aligned east-west, located to the south of Ferryhill Road. The ground level slopes gently from left to right.

The roof is pitched and covered in natural slate, with tiled skews and brick chimneys at each gable. The chimney on the right-hand gable features dentilled coping. A remnant of a crested terracotta ridge piece is visible at the centre of the ridge. There is an advanced eaves course, and the building has no rainwater goods. The walls are whitewashed and lime rendered over random rubble to the front and back, with cement render lining the gables. A tarred base course runs along the front.

The principal north-facing elevation is symmetrical, featuring a gabled entrance porch with a natural slate roof, ridge crestings, and a bead-moulded t+g sheeted door on its front face. Blank cheeks flank the entrance. A granite seat is positioned to the left of the porch. Each bay has a single 1/1 exposed box sliding sash window on each floor. All windows have granite sills, with those on the first floor slightly reduced in height. The left gable is blank. The rear elevation has two modern windows installed within original openings on the ground floor of each bay. A 1/1 sliding sash window is present on the first floor to the left, and a fixed single-pane window is set into the exposed gable to the left at first floor level. A single-story lean-to, now roofless and constructed of random rubble, abuts the right gable. There are outbuildings located to the north.

Although a building appears on Ordnance Survey maps from 1835 and 1861, its form differs from the present structure. In 1862, the house was valued at £1, and its rateable value increased to £2.10s.0d in 1893, when it was described as a house measuring 11 yards by 5 yards, with two stories. It is likely the house took its current form around this date. Subsequent rateable valuations remained unchanged. The building is of vernacular character and is currently in private ownership and used as a house.
