The thatched cottages on the right are named Duquesne and Avoca and were built around 1800. I can still remember when the rest of this road was largely composed of small single storey brick and wooden cottages; today these are the only remarkable houses in an otherwise bland suburban road on the edge of Bangor. Currently only the southern side of Ballymacormick Road has been developed; with the exception of Ballymacormick House the northern side is still green belt, though under constant threat of development.
