The Department's description

Exterior description and setting

Relatively plain and uninteresting terrace of c.1900 consisting of six two storey houses, largely identical. To the ground floor of the front NW facade of each is a canted hipped roof bay, with a doorway (to either right or left) with plain fanlight. To the first floor are two windows set on a cill course. To the rear each has a two storey return, most of which are gabled, with single storey sections added to the return rear of many. The terrace is gabled and has Bangor blue slates. The chimney stacks are mainly rendered. Most facades are finished in plain render and the window frames are entirely modern throughout.

The terrace is situated on the SE side of the Killaughey Road, to the S of Donaghadee town centre.
