Laurel Hill, 10 Tyrone's Ditches Road, Cullentragh, Poyntzpass, Newry, Co Armagh, BT35 6SB

Laurel Hill is a plain two storey farmhouse with a two storey gabled return, which took its present form around 1849. It stands on the western side of Tyrone's Ditches Road, approximately three miles south-west of Poyntzpass, accompanied by a large collection of contemporary outbuildings.

The symmetrical front façade faces north-east. At the centre of the ground floor is the main entrance, comprising a panelled and glazed door with a rectangular fanlight featuring brick-pattern tracery. A large millstone is embedded in the ground in front of the entrance, serving as a threshold. To the left and right of the entrance are matching flat arch sash windows with Georgian panes (6/6) and no horns. The first floor has three similar but noticeably smaller windows. The front façade is finished in an early to mid 20th century dry dash of small rounded black and white pebbles (possibly around 1930), with smooth rendered in-out quoins and first floor sill course. Decorative geometric surrounds to the openings are created in the dry dash using larger black and white pebbles and smooth narrow render bands. Stone sills are fitted throughout. Both north and south gables are plain rendered and devoid of openings.

Projecting from the centre of the rear elevation is a large two storey gabled return. To the immediate left of the return is a first floor window with a 1930s+ steel frame, positioned very close to where the return meets the main house; render marks suggest this window was once slightly deeper. A similar first floor window is positioned to the right of the return, placed slightly further away from it. The north face of the return has two ground floor windows: the right one matching the front ground floor type, whilst the left is much smaller with a plain sash frame. The first floor of the north face has two windows matching the ground floor right type. The west-facing gable of the return is blank. The south edge is abutted by a large two storey outbuilding. The south face of the return features a full-length single storey lean-to, containing a small two-pane window to the left, a timber-sheeted door in the centre, and a small casement window to the right. The first floor of the return proper has two narrow windows with recent frames fitted with hopper openers. The west end of the lean-to abuts the two storey outbuilding. Many of the return windows are covered with security grilles. The rear elevation is finished in a mixture of plain cement render and rough harling (the latter to the south side of the return).

The roof throughout is slated with rendered parapets to both the main roof and that of the return. There are three rendered chimneystacks, one to each gable, each fitted with an octagonal pot. The rainwater goods comprise a mixture of cast iron and PVC.

To the front of the house is a small garden bounded by a rough cast rendered wall with gabled coping. The wall includes a pedestrian gateway with round piers, each with shallow pitched cone caps, and a simple decorative wrought iron gate.

To the immediate south of the house is a large L-shaped two storey gabled outbuilding, largely harled and whitewashed with a slated roof. The section to the west is slightly lower in height than that to the south; the south section itself displays differing roof heights. The inner (yard-facing) faces of both sections have a series of original-looking openings consisting of timber-sheeted pedestrian and stable doors and several broader vehicle doorways. The first floor features a mixture of timber-sheeted loft doors and windows of various sizes. The south face of the south section has similar ground and first floor openings. At the south-west corner of the L-shaped outbuilding, a roughly circular field pattern marked on various Ordnance Survey maps may indicate the former presence of a horse-walk, though this area was not directly observed.

South of the two storey L-shaped outbuilding is a larger yard bordered by a large J-shaped complex of single storey outbuildings which abut one another. These are largely finished in the same manner as the two storey outbuilding, with similar openings, except that the roof of the eastern section, which runs parallel to the roadside, is finished in corrugated iron.
