Description
This is a long, single-story vernacular house, likely built before 1834, and now used as a private residence. It is situated at the end of a drive, to the northwest of the Derryboy Road, approximately three miles north of Crossgar.
The front (south) facade features a modern, partly glazed door located slightly left of center. To the left of the door are two small windows of varying size, and to the right are three unevenly spaced windows, all fitted with modern PVC frames. The west gable has two windows mirroring those on the front. The east gable has two tiny, upper-level windows with fixed light frames. At the rear, to the far left, is a large modern window, followed by a modern, flat-roofed conservatory/porch. To the right of the porch are three windows similar to those on the front facade, and further to the right is a small, flat-roofed extension. This extension is linked to the main rear facade by a chamfered section, and has a squat, modern window on its east face. The facade is finished with rough cast and painted. The gabled roof is covered with natural slate, and has three brick chimney stacks. The property has modern PVC rainwater goods.
Behind the house are single and two-story rubble-built outbuildings. A wrought iron garden gate, typical of the area's design, is located on the east side of the front. A further wrought iron farm gate is situated to the east.
A building is depicted on an Ordnance Survey map of 1834 at this site, which likely corresponds to the present house. Valuation records from 1837 show the house was occupied by a Samuel Morrow, and the outbuildings were also present at that point, though all were single-story. Samuel Morrow, or a relative, remained at the property in 1861. The records also indicate that a section of the outbuildings served as a caretaker's house. Nearby, to the southeast, was a school building marked as a ‘National School’ on an Ordnance Survey map of 1859; it was demolished around 1997/8.
