Description
This is a three-story, two-bay house, one of a pair located on the south side of Sandys Street in Newry. The houses are mirror images of each other, and the building’s plan is skewed, with no walls parallel. Constructed between 1860 and 1879, it is one of several mid-Victorian houses of similar style along this street.
The roof is pitched and covered in artificial slate, with a rendered chimney on the left gable. The facade has half-round metal gutters and a downpipe on the left side. The walls are painted, lined, and rendered, with a raised eaves course. The main entrance is on the right side, accessed by a single granite step from the street. To the left of the entrance is a single-story canted bay with a cornice around a parapeted flat roof and a downpipe. This cornice also serves as a two-step platband between the ground and first floors, and the bay contains a window on each face. The ground floor window openings are currently covered with plywood sheeting, and the first floor windows are boarded up. The second floor has two 2/2 sliding sash windows, aligned with each other but offset from the ground floor openings. The windows on the top floor are shorter than those below. All window cills are painted granite.
A wall, consisting of a chamfered granite plinth surmounted by a rendered brick wall, separates the house from the footpath. The left gable is painted, lined, and rendered, while the right gable forms a party wall with the adjacent house located at HB16/28/084A. The rear elevation features a two-story return abutting on the left side, with a single window visible in each back room of the main block; the second-floor window on the right is a 2/2 sliding sash. The return has a pitched artificial slate roof and a window and door on the ground floor, with two windows above. All openings on this side of the house are now blocked up.
The property first appears in the Valuation Revision Book of 1879, owned by John Nesbitt, who built several houses in the area. It is located within the Carneyhough townland and is situated within a conservation area.
