40 Grove Road, Annalong, Newry, Co Down, BT34 4XB

Two-storey/ three-bay dwelling facing south east with single-storey/ one-bay smithy attached to its north-east gable. The coped gable roof of the dwelling has natural slates, a chimney on each gable and metal rainwater goods. Its walls are rendered rubble granite, painted white. There is an off-centre gabled porch (with recessed apex) to the main façade. There is a window to each bay on either side and two in line above; all are 2/2 sliding sash with exposed boxes and granite cills. On the rear wall is a 1/1 margin-paned sliding sash window to each bay on each floor. Abutting the left gable of the house is a long lean-to shed with corrugated metal roof and dashed walls, of relatively recent date. The smithy has a pitched gable roof with artificial slates, brick verges and end chimney; some slates are missing; there are no rainwater goods. Its walls are similar to those of the house. There is a broad-boarded door at left, with shuttered opening to right, on the façade. On the right gable is a cement-rendered shed with monopitched corrugated metal roof; there is also a small corrugated asbestos monopitched roof outshot (for bellows) on the end of its rear wall. On this rear wall is a fixed multi-paned window. A small one-storey random rubble outhouse with gabled slate roof sits to the front left of the house. In a field across road to the right of the forge lies a large round granite hooping stone (formerly used to place iron rings on cartwheels).
