93 Derryboy Road, Ballygoskin, Crossgar, Co. Down, BT30 9LW

This long single-storey vernacular house stands on a slight rise to the north-west of Derryboy Road, approximately 3.5 miles north-east of Crossgar. Dating from the early 19th century or possibly earlier, the building is shown on Ordnance Survey maps from 1834 onwards. The property was recorded in the 1861 valuation as a caretaker's house, then occupied by Samuel Morrow and rated at £2-10-0, with Charles Matthews listed as the lessor.

The house comprises two distinct sections. The southern half, the original dwelling, is partly thatched with a rendered parapet to the south gable. The northern half, originally an outbuilding, has a natural slated gabled roof and was sympathetically converted to serve as an extension to the house during the 1990s. The facades are finished in rough render following the contours of the stonework beneath, and are painted. Two small rendered chimneys stand on the southern half.

The east-facing front elevation features, from left to right, a timber-sheeted door with a four-over-four sash window to its left (on a recent cill), followed by five similar windows unevenly spaced and set at marginally differing levels. To the right, the facade merges into a single-storey outbuilding section, which is abutted by a single-storey gabled outbuilding that largely obscures it from view. The south gable is blank. The rear facade contains three windows matching those on the front, followed by a tiny four-pane window and two further matching windows. Immediately to the right of the last window is a large single-storey gabled return, added in the 1990s. This return features a small four-over-two sash window and timber-sheeted stable door on its north face, three small four-over-two sash windows to the gable, and on the south face a similar sash window with a pair of French doors to its right. The return is finished in rough render.

The garden walling and gate to the front of the house, which likely dated from the later 19th century, were removed during the 1990s. A free-standing gabled garage stands to the rear of the house, its facade with sash windows and timber doors largely in keeping with its surroundings, though the roof timberwork is modern.
