"George's", Hanna’s Close, 87-89 Aughnahoory Road, Kilkeel, Newry, Co. Down, BT34 4HF

George's is a Grade B1 listed building forming part of an important vernacular grouping (clachan) in a relatively unaltered rural setting overlooking the Kilkeel River. Dating from 1820–1839, it is a largely original single-storey dwelling with three bays, aligned down the slope with a converted horse-powered threshing barn against the upper gable.

The main dwelling faces south-southwest into a yard. It is slated with blue clay ridge tiles and concrete verge to the free gable, with all walls dashed and painted. The principal entrance is set on the right side of the middle bay and is fitted with a t+g sheeted painted door, with a massive granite threshold stone. To the left of the door is a very large granite bench set against the wall, with a bulkhead light above. The fenestration includes two 2/2 windows in the left bays and a 6/6 window to the right of the entrance. All windows have exposed boxes and granite cills. The barn section, converted from its original horse-powered threshing function, has two 2/2 windows inserted into openings that were originally doorways. The trace of the former horse walk survives to the front of the barn, though little remains of the original geared linkage to the thresher inside.

The barn has a pitched painted corrugated metal roof with concrete verges and half round metal rainwater goods. To the left of the main dwelling is a former pig house, now a rubbish bin store, with a modern corrugated iron roof abutting the upper gable. Its walls are exposed rubble stonework with modern boarding sheeting on the gable.

The rear wall contains a very small single pane casement and plastic vent at the left of the barn section, and a 2/2 window at the right. In the house section are a bulkhead light, two 2/2 sashes, a gas regulator box and a balanced flue. The right gable has a 2/2 sash at attic floor level slightly right of centre, with a bulkhead light and plastic fan vent.

The setting is delineated by dry boulder granite walls, partly original, partly rebuilt and partly new. The site is planted with perimeter trees of importance to its character. Carriageways are paved in quarry dust and crushed shalestone edged with granite kerbstones, walkways are granite setts, and remaining open space is grass with small flower beds. Several gates serve the site; some are old, whilst those on vehicular entrances are newly made to traditional designs. Each house has a specially designed cast metal plaque as part of the refurbishment.

The clachan is shown on the 1834 Ordnance Survey 6-inch map and subsequent editions. Although the building has been restored, alterations are minimal, enhancing rather than detracting from its vernacular character and group value.
