The Cottage, Tandragee Road, Newry, Co Down

This is a single-story, five-bay vernacular house situated on the west side of Tandragee Road, Newry, County Down. The house is believed to have been constructed between 1820 and 1839. A building is depicted at this location on an Ordnance Survey map from 1834.

The house exhibits a pitched roof covered in natural slate, with the exception of the left bay, which is roofed with artificial slate. A small gabled porch is positioned in the second bay from the right. Three chimneys are present: one rendered with circular yellow pots on the right gable, a red brick chimney on the party wall between the central bay and the adjacent room, and a rendered chimney on the party wall between the left bay and the second bay from the left. The right gable features a tiled copping. The house has semicircular cast iron rainwater goods.

The east-facing wall is wet-dashed and painted, largely obscured by ivy. The main entrance is in the second bay from the right, leading to a four-panelled, varnished timber door with a cast iron bat knocker, set within a gable featuring decorative bargeboard and a pitched natural slate roof. A small painted timber lattice porch with a felt roof abuts the door jambs. Six windows are present on the east elevation; each bay has windows at different cill levels. These are modern, top-hung, painted timber casements with painted granite cills, configured as six-panel (1/1) units. There are two windows in the right bay, one in the central bay, two in the second bay from the left, and one in the left bay. The north and south gables are dashed and painted and have no openings.

The west (rear) elevation has a single-story, flat-roofed extension adjoining the central three bays. The remaining wall to the left contains a fixed cast iron lattice window, while the wall to the right is partially abutted by a glazed conservatory. A door and a small modern window are incorporated into the dashed wall, lighting a store. The extension has a felt roof with a tall brick chimney rising from the centre and features three modern windows and a door on its right side, leading into the conservatory. The conservatory itself is of no particular interest.

The property sits on a mown grass verge to the front and is set within a large, mature garden to the rear. The house's valuation rose from less than £5 in 1834 to £1.10s.0d by 1908, which may indicate a later extension.
