house

Terraced four-bay two-storey house, c.1850, possibly originally school. Extensively renovated, 1928, with single-bay single-storey flat-roofed advanced porch added to left ground floor. Part refenestrated, c.2000, with window openings remodelled to ground floor. Now in commercial use to ground floor. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Flat concrete roof to porch with moulded cornice. Painted rendered, ruled and lined walls. Square-headed window openings (remodelled, c.2000, to ground floor) with stone sills (replacement concrete sills, c.2000, to ground floor). Replacement 1/1 timber sash windows, 1928, with replacement uPVC casement windows, c.2000, to ground floor. Square-headed door openings with moulded rendered entablature, 1928, to right ground floor on consoles and replacement glazed timber panelled doors, 1928. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.

An attractive building of modest proportions and appearance, which retains its original form to the first floor together with early salient features and materials, and which contributes to the streetscape value of Ballymacarbry. The building was, according to local sources, originally built as a school, which is of particular local significance.
