Mullamast House in Mullamast sits at the end of a long avenue with a little projecting porch waiting to receive you. It’s a farmhouse that makes you rehearse your request for a shovel until it sounds like a proposal of marriage.

Mullamast House is a fine, substantial late nineteenth-century farm house, which is afforded much presence in the locality by being composed of three storeys. Although altered at various stages throughout the twentieth century, including the remodelling of some window openings and the addition of an end bay to the south-west, the house retains some of its early character and features, including a slate roof with attractive red brick chimney stacks. The house also retains a fine timber panelled door dating to the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Set back considerably from the main road, the house is approached by a long avenue and is attractively set as a focal point in landscaped grounds.
