12 Old Rd, Annalong, Newry, Co Down, BT34

This is a single-storey, two-bay house located in the townland of Glasdrumman, Annalong, dating from between 1800 and 1819. The building is notable for an extension added to the rear, rather than the gable. Constructed of whitewashed rubble granite, the main house has a corrugated metal pitched roof—originally thatched—and a stone chimney to the party wall. The layout features direct entry to a kitchen in the right-hand bay, with the main door positioned on the right side of the front façade. Two two-over-two sliding sash windows are present in each bay.

A single-storey, one-bay rubble granite annexe is located at the rear of the kitchen bay, running parallel to the main block and also featuring a corrugated metal pitched roof, with a valley between sections, and a two-over-two window in its end gable. All windows lack cills.

The property sits within an attractive setting and includes a walled garden with a wrought-iron gate and a small, one-storey rubble outbuilding. A building is depicted on the 1834 Ordnance Survey 6-inch map, and the house is locally known as “Lizzie Anne McVeigh’s.”
