30 Cregganduff Road, Cregganduff, Newry, BT35 9BT

30 Cregganduff Road is a single-storey four-bay lobby entry vernacular dwelling house with an attached two-storey byre, pre-dating the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1835. It stands to the west of Cregganduff Road at the end of a 150-metre gated laneway on low-lying land in the valley of the Creggan River.

The main house has an asymmetrical principal elevation facing west, with a projecting entrance porch. The roof is pitched natural slate with black terracotta ridge tiles. Two chimneys rise from the structure: a cement-rendered brick chimney to the south in two stages, and a two-stage redbrick chimney to the north with a modern chimneypot. The walls are limewashed rubblestone with replacement metal and uPVC rainwater goods.

The principal west elevation features square-headed openings with narrow smooth render margins and painted concrete sills. There are fixed-pane timber-framed windows to the left and right bays, and a timber-framed top-hung casement window to the central bay. The projecting porch has a pitched natural slate roof with profiled timber bargeboard and limewashed rubblestone walling, with a replacement timber-sheeted glazed door.

The north elevation has a single three-over-three timber sliding sash window. The east elevation contains a pair of one-over-one timber sliding sash windows and a single six-over-three timber sliding sash window.

The attached two-storey two-bay byre stands to the south with a natural slate pitched roof and no rainwater goods. Its west elevation has a timber-sheeted three-quarter door at ground floor and a timber-sheeted door to the upper floor. The east elevation has timber-sheeted doors at ground and first floors, with a projecting double flight of stone and concrete steps with quarter turn providing access to the first floor. The walling is rubblestone, limewashed to first floor level.

Associated outbuildings surround the site. Outbuilding 1, located to the east and dating from circa 1885, is a single-storey single-bay barn with a pitched corrugated metal roof, no rainwater goods, and limewashed rubblestone walls. Its principal elevation faces east with a double-width opening and corrugated metal pediment; all other elevations are blank.

Outbuilding 3, to the west and also circa 1885, is a single-storey two-bay byre with a replacement pitched natural slate roof, black terracotta ridge tiles and concrete skews. It has replacement metal rainwater goods and limewashed rubblestone walls. Two timber-sheeted doors with strap hinges are set into the principal east elevation.

Outbuilding 4, to the north and pre-dating 1835, is a single-storey three-bay byre. The left and centre bays predate the first edition map, whilst the right-hand bay is a later addition from circa 1885. It has a pitched corrugated metal roof with timber bargeboards and no rainwater goods. The walls are limewashed rubblestone to three elevations, with exposed rubblestone to the rear. The main elevation faces south-east and comprises a timber-sheeted door to the left bay, a timber frame with missing door to the centre bay, and a timber-framed fixed-pane window to the right-hand bay. A timber-sheeted door with strap hinges is set into the north-east elevation, with remaining elevations blank.

The dwelling house and outbuildings 3 and 4 are arranged around a farmyard, the ground surface partially formed of natural rocky outcrop. Concrete block and concrete-rendered walling encloses the site to the south and west, abutting outbuildings 1, 2, 3 and 4. The laneway terminates at the roadside in a wrought iron gate set between rubblestone and concrete block piers. A second pedestrian entrance with concrete block piers and metal gate lies to the west of the dwelling house.
