Description

119 Greencastle Pier Road is the left half of a pair of identical two-storey, two-bay semi-detached houses on the north side of Greencastle Pier Road, with its principal façade facing south towards the sea.

The building has a flat mass concrete roof. The walls are painted smooth render with a chamfered basecourse. Quoins mark the left corner of the façade, and a projecting platband runs between the ground and first floors, continuing around the left and rear elevations of the main block. A deep moulded cornice sits at eaves level with a low blocking course above. Two rendered chimneys are present: one to the left with projecting coping, and one to the right shared with the adjacent property.

At ground floor level, a single-storey porch with a flat roof is attached to the left of the façade, partially obscuring the quoins. It shares the wall detailing of the main block but without quoins. The porch has a small 1/1 sliding sash window with moulded eared architrave and concrete cill on its front wall, and its left wall is blank. The right wall carries a sheeted painted timber door with matching architrave. All openings throughout have these identical eared architraves unless otherwise stated. Resting on the porch roof, set back slightly and rising almost to the eaves of the main block, is a concrete water tank with matching basecourse and cornice detailing. Its front face is decorated with an applied roundel. The tank has a flat roof with a slate lid.

The main block has a 2/2 sliding sash window at ground floor right, with an identical window above at first floor, its cill advancing from the platband. To the first floor left, the wall recesses behind the water tank and contains a two-paned casement window providing access to the tank and porch roof. The left gable is detailed as the main walls with a cement-rendered chimney rising from the centre of the blocking wall.

A modern single-storey wing adjoins the left gable, with a flat roof concealed behind a parapet. Its walls are rendered as the main block but without quoins, and it features a 1/1 sliding sash window on the front wall and two similar openings on the left cheek. The rear wall has a modern picture window. An ogee hopper is present. Above the wing is a single 1/1 plastic double-glazed window at first floor left on the main block.

A two-storey return abuts the rear wall. Its remaining wall to the left has a single plastic double-glazed window on each floor. The extension is flat-roofed with blocking course and detailed as the main walls, including quoins and a shallower base course. Its right cheek has plastic double-glazed windows matching those on the main block. Its rear wall has a large plastic picture window on each floor. Its left cheek is blank. The right elevation is a party wall with the adjacent property.

The front drive is shared with the adjacent property, and all properties share a common gateway with Nos 121 and 123. To the road is a concrete boundary wall with embattled copings shared by all these properties. Opposite No. 117 is a small pedestrian gate in wrought iron, and at the centre is a similarly detailed carriage gate which hangs on rockfaced ashlar granite piers with pyramidal granite caps. In front of No. 119 is a slate-capped cistern and a communal water pump. The pump is cast iron with a curved handle, lugged nozzle, fluted top section, and removable finialised lid; its internal mechanism has been disconnected. A small garden to the rear and right is enclosed by a modern fence.
