Historical Information

A terrace is shown on the this site on the OS map of 1834. In 1837 the Ordnance Survey Memoirs Ballywalter was described as having ‘cottages all built of stone, and, with few exceptions, but 1 storey in height...many of them slated...plastered and whitewashed’. It is probable that this terrace was originally mainly one storey and that perhaps this house was either raised in height or newly built in the mid to later 19th century.
