7 The Square

Hearth has restored two neighbouring houses in Cushendun for the National Trust. No.8 Main Street had been somewhat altered over the years and is a simple two-storey terrace house that was restored in 1996 (Danny Mullen, main contractor).

No.7 The Square was a different matter; part of the picturesque group of houses designed for Lord Cushendun in 1912 by Clough Williams-Ellis, it is still complete with the original door furniture and has a charming green-slated gambrel roof with shallow dormers. Restoration in 1997-98 (main contractor, J S Dunlop) involved re-slating the building and careful repair of many doors and windows.
