The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
Located on the NE edge of the town of Castlewellan, Nos. 65 & 67 form the middle and end of a three house, two storey vernacular terrace which is built on the steep rise of Mill Hill.
To the left of the ground floor front NW elevation (No.67) is a large fixed multi (20) pane window. To the immediate right of this there is evidence that an arched doorway was inserted at one stage, to this has been blocked up. To the right of this is a modern ‘period’ panelled door with small fanlight. To the right of this is a small sliding case window ( 6 over 6) set on a stone cill. To the first floor left side is a sliding sash and case window as before, but slightly larger. To the right of this is a similar sliding sash and case window. Windows timber.
The SW gable is blank and that to the NE is mainly obscured by No 69 but is otherwise blank.
To the centre of the rear of No.67 is a collection of small lean to extensions. Attached directly to the left side of No. 67 is one built of concrete block. That to the right (which abuts the former) has a smooth render finish each has a corrugated iron roof. To the rear of that to the left is a dilapidated (partly glassless) greenhouse. Attached to the rear of the right lean to is a small outside WC. To the first floor left of No. 67 is a fixed light with eight panes and to the right is a modern two pane with top opener window.
To the rear of the small enclosed farm yard is are two dilapidated outhouses.
The front and side façades are finished in smooth render, while the rear is white washed rubble. The roof is slated with Bangor Blue slates and has four evenly spaced chimney pots. Those to the gables are original and those to the middle are recently constructed and are rendered and with concrete copings.
