31 High Street, Ballynahinch, Co Down, BT24 8AB

Large, three storey terrace house, with shop, of c.1840, set on the W side of High Street, in the centre of Ballynahinch. The front (E) façade is asymmetrical. To the left on the ground floor is the entrance to the house, which consists of a (recent) panelled door with narrow panelled pilaster jambs, entablature and cornice. To the right of this is a large shop front with central doorway and large flanking windows. The shop front arrangement appears to be largely original, but door, jambs, window frames etc all appear to be recent replacements (c.1990s). Above the shop front is a PVC internally illuminated signboard with two similar projecting signs. To the right of the shop front is a segmental headed carriage arch with granite voussoirs and metal sheeted double doors. To the first floor are three evenly spaced sash windows with Georgian panes (6 panes over 6). To the second floor are three similar but smaller sash windows (3/6). The front façade is finished in painted lined render. To the rear there is a large mainly flat roofed mainly single storey return (which could not be clearly seen as it was largely obscured by a high yard wall. To the first floor there is a window with modern frame to left. To the right of this is a modern door (which gives access to a terrace on the return roof). To far right (at a slightly higher stair landing level) is a semicircular headed window with Georgian paned sash frame. To the second floor are two windows with modern frames. The rear elevation is also in lined render. The gabled roof is slated and has two rendered chimney stacks (that to S shared with No.33). Cast iron and PVC rw goods.
