Dwelling and outbuildings, N of 37 Tievcrom Road, Forkhill, Newry, Co Armagh, BT35 9RU

A two-bay, single-storey vernacular house with a two-storey/single-storey outbuilding forms a pleasant hillside group of buildings, typical of the area, located on the east slope of Tievecrom Mountain within the Slieve Gullion Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The house, aligned downslope, is abutted to its left by a single-storey lean-to shed that links it with the right bay of the outbuilding. The principal, south-facing elevation of the dwelling has a windbreak porch with a flat concrete roof, a partly glazed timber-and-glass front door, and 1/1 sliding sash windows with painted concrete cills at each end. Rendered chimneys project from each gable of the left bay, which is slightly higher than the downslope right bay. The rear elevation features windows towards the right end of the left bay and in the middle of the right bay; one is a 1/1 sliding sash and the other is metal-framed. The left gable of the left bay is built into the hillside.

The outbuilding, to the southwest, comprises a two-storey left block and a single-storey right block. The principal, east-facing elevation of the left block has a timber-and-glass sheeted door and a window, with a small loading door positioned above the window. The right block has a timber-and-glass sheeted door to the centre. A door is located at first floor level on the left gable of the left block, with access to the ground level, which is raised. A small window is on the rear elevation of the left bay. The right gable of the right block is blank and is abutted at its extreme right by a small lean-to shed between it and the left bay of the dwelling. The rear elevation of the outbuilding is blank. All roofs, apart from that of the right bay, are pitched and covered with natural slate, with half-round metal rainwater goods. The walls are lime-rendered and lime washed random rubble.

A building is depicted on the 1835 Ordnance Survey map and subsequent editions, with construction likely dating between 1820 and 1839. Its rateable valuation remained consistent at 15 shillings between 1862 and 1930.
