Exterior Description And Setting

Derelict and badly dilapidated one and a half storey gabled house, at the end of a lane S of the Belfast Road, c.1 mile NW of Newtownards. This house probably dates from the mid nineteenth century (c.1840s), however, it appears to have been renovated in late Victorian/Edwardian times and now sports a gabled porch to the front facade as well as paired window openings (without frames). The building is very poor condition, largely open to the elements and surrounded by rampant greenery.
