7 Trevor Hill, Newry, Co Down, BT34 1DN

Number 7 Trevor Hill is the left-hand unit of a pair of three-storey townhouses (with basement) in classical revival style, located on the east side of Trevor Hill. This property is four windows wide, spanning three bays. Together with its neighbour, it forms a symmetrical composition centred on a shared coach arch.

The building has a pitched natural slate roof with three modern skylights to the front pitch. A modern cement render chimney with projecting coping rises from the left gable. A gutter set within the cornice of the facade feeds a metal downpipe positioned to the left of the facade. The walls of the main facade are finished in painted lined render with a plain double cill course to the first floor, a single cill course to the second floor, and a plain double cornice course at the eaves. The left gable, which rises over number 8, is plain unpainted cement render. The right gable forms a party wall with number 7.

The coach arch is positioned at ground floor level on the right side of the facade. The main entrance lies immediately to its left and is reached by five granite steps from the street. This entrance opening is segmental headed with granite jambs and voussoirs, including a raised keyblock. The door is timber with six raised and fielded bolection moulded panels (the top panel being the smallest), fitted with black metal door furniture. The door is framed by a pair of granite Doric demi-columns supporting a moulded granite entablature, all painted. Above the entablature is a segmental fanlight with modern plastic covering and a cast iron grill.

The coach arch is semi-elliptical headed with a projecting keyblock and shares its piers with the front doors of both properties. It is infilled with a fixed tongue-and-groove tympanum and a pair of timber doors below, the right door having a wicket door inset.

The basement has two recessed but blocked-up openings. At ground floor level there are two windows aligned with the basement windows. These are one-over-one sliding sashes with horns, but the top sashes have three small stained glass transoms. Each upper floor has four windows centred over the openings below; all are one-over-one sliding sashes with horns, with the second floor windows diminished in height. Ground floor windows have bracketed cills with moulded render architraves and modern security grills. First floor windows rest on a continuous cill course and have similar architraves, with an additional frieze and projecting cornice over. Third floor windows rest on a continuous cill course and have moulded architraves matching those on the ground floor. Three modern plaques are mounted on the wall to the left of the front door, with a security alarm box above.

The basement and front steps are enclosed by original plain spiked railings, with urn-topped moulded cast posts at the bottom of the steps and at the centre and end of the frontage. The centre of the railing is supported off the facade by a sweeping supporting rail which is square in section. There is no street access to the basement.

The left gable above number 8 is cement rendered and has a two-over-two sliding sash window to the left and right at attic level.

The wall to the rear elevation is cement rendered. A canted stairwell return abuts to the left of centre, and at ground floor right is a single storey return. A coachway lies to the left of the rear elevation, with the party yard wall to number 6 carried on a steel beam over a large opening from the coachway. At first floor left is a three-over-six sliding sash window, with a similar window to the right. At second floor left is a modern casement window set over a three-paned bottom sash. To the right is a six-over-three sliding sash. All windows have granite cills.

The stairwell return has a hipped natural slate roof with lead dressings and a downpipe to the right. Between ground and first floor it has a six-over-six sliding sash window with a semicircular fanlight attached to the top sash (with bars over), with a similar arrangement to the landing above (with grills over).

The single storey return has a mono-pitched link block connecting to a pyramidal artificial slate roof over the main section, with a central rooflight. Walls are cement rendered. There is one modern one-over-one window and two semicircular headed sliding sash windows to the right elevation. The rear elevation has one semicircular headed sliding sash window and a small return to the right of the rear elevation with a small window and metal escape door.
