26 Sandy's Street, Newry, Co Down, BT34 1EN

This is a three-storey, two-bay terraced house, likely built between 1820 and 1839, situated on the south side of Sandys Street, Newry, where it intersects with Talbot Street. It forms one of a pair of houses. The building is located within a conservation area.

The façade retains largely original features, although the interior and rear have been extensively remodelled. The roof is pitched and covered in natural slate, with rendered verges to the gables. There are two gabled dormers with plain barge boards at the front, rising from the eaves, and a single similar dormer at the rear. A rendered chimney is located on the left gable. Half-round metal rainwater goods with downpipes are visible on the left and in the middle of the front façade. The street-facing walls are finished with painted line render. The main entrance, on the right, is a modern four-panel stained timber door with a narrow transom light above. A single two-over-two sliding sash window is located on the left. Two similarly sized windows are present on each of the upper floors, aligned with each other but not with the ground floor openings. All windows have painted granite cills. The house’s left and right gables adjoin neighbouring houses, identified as HB16/28/106B and HB16/28/105B respectively. The rear wall is cement rendered, with a two-storey return featuring a monopitched artificial slate roof. A single-storey, flat-roofed extension projects across the remainder of the ground floor, extending beyond the line of the return. A modern one-over-one top-hung timber window is located at first floor right on the main block, with a similar dormer above. At second floor level, a small one-over-one top-hung timber window is visible on the left. The return back wall includes a modern door at ground floor level and a top-hung timber window at first floor level. The extension features a large modern two-over-one window to the rear wall, and a modern door on the left side. A yard is located to the rear.

The building appears on an 1835 Ordnance Survey town map and was occupied by a Stewart Dalzell in 1838, according to the first valuation book. The 1863 valuation book describes the building as being 16 feet 6 inches long by 21 feet 0 inches wide and two and one-quarter storeys high. While the main structure likely dates to the early 19th century, the dormers are likely later additions, suggesting a subsequent refurbishment. Prior to its delisting in 2006, it was also recorded in the Windsor Hill ward as HB16/26/060.
