7 Bryansford village, Ballyhafry, Newcastle, Co Down, BT33 0PT

Seven Bryansford village is a one and a half storey rubble-built gabled house that may date from before 1834, though its steeply pitched roof, gabled timber porch, hipped roof half-dormer and half Georgian-paned window frames give it a more picturesque Edwardian appearance. A large two storey extension has recently been added to the rear, doubling the size of the property. The house is situated to the northwest of the main road running through Bryansford village.

The front south-east façade is rubble-built and asymmetrical. Slightly to the right of centre is a gabled timber porch, recently rebuilt, with a partly glazed door facing north-east and Edwardian style multi-paned transomed windows to the south-east and south-west. The porch rises from a rendered base and is painted. The roof is natural slate with relatively plain barges and a finial. To the right of the porch is a relatively small double sash window with Georgian-type glazing to the upper sashes only, in the Edwardian manner, with a smooth render surround inside and out and a slim sandstone cill. To the right of this is a similar single window. At upper level left is a small half-dormer with steeply pitched hipped roof and finial, containing a window of the same style.

The south-west elevation comprises the south-west façade of the large one and a half storey rear return to the left and the south-west gable of the original house. The return façade is rendered. At ground floor right is a timber and glazed door with a gabled hood over. To the left and right of this door are small windows with frames as the front façade, with similar windows to the upper level in two gabled half-dormers. The south-west gable of the original house is rubble-built with two ground floor windows and one upper level window, all as the front façade.

The north-east elevation comprises the north-east gable of the original house to the left and the north-east façade of the return. The gable of the original house is finished in a contrived-looking lumpy render with a single upper level window as the front. The north-east façade of the return is actually single storey, as the return roof is uneven, and features French doors with a small pointed arch window to the left. To the far left the façade projects slightly. This section is rendered and painted. The exposed left-hand section of the rear façade of the original section is rendered and painted with a glazed door to the left at ground floor. The rear gable of the return is rendered and painted with a glazed door at ground floor and a window as on the south-west of the return, with granite quoins to the gable.

The roof of the original section has a relatively steep pitch covered in natural slate. A large off-centre ridge chimney stack rises from it, and there is a Velux window to the rear. The roof has a slight overhang to the gables with plain barges and finials. The return roof is also covered in natural slate with a Velux window.

The large two storey rubble-built return to the rear has been recently renovated with timber sheeted doors and multi-pane casement windows. The south-east front façade has lumpy render, while the south-west gable remains unrendered. The gabled roof is covered in natural slate. A single storey outbuilding stands to the north-east.
