Exterior Description And Setting

A one and a half storey detached house in neo Tudor style. Smooth rendered walls, sandstone quoins, barges and kneelers. A series of gables contain first floor windows. There are steep pitched natural slated roofs. A cluster of smooth rendered Tudor style chimneys with tall pots are on the ridge. The entrance front, three bays wide, has a projecting gabled porch with wide doorway and sandstone trims and is boldly chamfered with a Tudor arch. It has a plain fanlight and pointed label moulding. On either side there is a six pane mullioned and single transom wooden window with chamfered sandstone trim and square label moulding. At first floor, set in the centre of the gable is a four pane mullioned window with transom. Above it, a small narrow blank lancet set near the apex of the gable. The south front has a central projecting gable, with a six pane window as at the entrance with a narrower six pane window above and a narrow blank lancet in gable apex. On the east side another similar ground floor window and on the west a four light window with a smaller four light window above, all with sandstone and label mouldings. The north front, three bays wide, consists of two gable ends, fenestrated as other gables. A narrow gable is between, set back with ground floor and first floor windows. The west front is similar in composition to the entrance front without a porch projection but recently a two storey projection has been added with gable end finished entirely in smooth rendering. It has been erected with windows matching the earlier ones. The house plan consists of a south block with central projecting gable with two gabled blocks at right angles to it. A narrower gabled part is sandwiched between. To the rear of the house there is a yard bounded by walls and one and a half storey outhouse with flat roofed dormer windows. The house sited on a plot of ground adjacent to Carrick Church, has two avenue approaches. That through the church grounds has a good garden with mature trees and varied shrubs.

Historical Information

The house would appear to be contemporary with the church ( HB02/08/004.) or built shortly afterwards. It is recorded in Griffiths valuation as Glebe House, offices and land in 1858 valuation £18. It is no longer the rectory and is now privately owned. The owners stated that they had been told by a researcher from Queens that the building was designed by Charles Lanyon. References GVB 1858

Evaluation

A good neo Tudor or Elizabethan house of mid 19th century, well preserved with good consistent detailing, chimneys intact but some have been re-rendered. Sound compact plan form but a little smaller than anticipated.
