152 Newry Rd, Kilkeel, Newry, Co Down, BT34 4ET

152 Newry Road is a two-storey, three-bay L-plan house situated on the north side of Newry Road, just south of St Colman's Church. The building is constructed of rockfaced concrete blockwork laid in regular courses over an advanced base course with a smooth chamfered top. The walls feature rendered corbelled eaves and a moulded stringcourse between ground and first floors that extends around all four walls of the main block.

The roof is pitched with natural slate and terracotta crested ridges and coped verges. Four rendered chimneys serve the building: two to the front pitch on either side of the central bay, aligned at right angles to the facade, and two to the rear pitch on each end bay, aligned parallel with the facade. All dressings are of smooth concrete blockwork with stop-ended chamfered arrises. Rainwater goods are cast iron ogee pattern.

The principal facade faces south onto the road. The entrance is positioned on the central bay, accessed by two concrete steps, with a modern eight-panelled door and sidelights with concrete cills. Above each sidelight and the door is a modern transom light, flanked by modern metal lantern lights. At first floor is a large modern stained glass window set in an original opening. All windows have concrete cills and glazing is leaded and stained. Symmetrically arranged to either side of the middle bay are two-storey canted bays with hipped natural slate roofs and terracotta finials. Each cheek on both floors has a 6/1 sliding sash window, though those to the first floor right have been replaced by modern 6/1 top hung casements. Each set of bay windows shares a continuous cill.

The left elevation is two bays wide. Its left bay has a slightly advanced coped gable with natural slate roof and 6/1 sliding sash windows to both ground and first floors. The right bay has a 6/1 sliding sash window to ground and first floors on the right side.

A two-storey return abuts the rear elevation to the left. The remaining wall of the main block is blank. The rear return walls match the main block but without base and stringcourses. Its roof and verge follow the main block pattern but with a slightly lower ridge and eaves. One rendered chimney sits on the ridge, parallel to the facade. The west elevation of the return has a four-panelled bolection-moulded door at ground floor right, accessed by two concrete steps with a retaining wall to the left topped with heavy concrete coping. A small 6/6 sliding sash sits to the left of the door. Between ground and first floor at the extreme left is a 6/1 landing light. At first floor are three windows: two 6/1 sashes flanking a narrow 4/1 sliding sash.

The wall continues at ground floor left as a one-storey gabled outshot with a 1/1 sliding sash. The north-facing gable of the rear return is abutted at ground floor right by the outshot. At ground floor left, the wall is rendered and painted with two modern top hung casements. Centred at first floor is a 6/1 sliding sash with a small 1/1 sash to the attic above. A modern metal boiler flue is fixed to the right-hand side of the wall. The outshot has a monopitch slate roof sloping to the yard, which is enclosed by a high coped wall with a sheeted timber door to the north elevation.

The left elevation of the main block has four 6/1 sashes to ground floor and three to first floor, with the top left being a modern casement. The wall continues to the right as the plain left cheek of the two-storey return and has two 6/1 sashes to both ground and first floors.

To the front is a small garden with a modern granite boundary wall to the road. Areas immediately around the house are tarmacked. At the rear stands an asbestos-roofed garage.
