What is recorded here
Detached three-bay two-storey farmhouse, built c.1820, with entrance porch added and lean-to extension to rear. Set back from road. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with stucco surrounds, limestone sills and timber sash windows. Two-storey outbuilding to north of rear yard with hipped slate roof, random coursed walls and yellow brick relieving arch to opening. Additional single-storey outbuildings to yard. Front site enclosed by random coursed wall and accessed through decorative wrought-iron pedestrian gate and gates to yard.
The modest form and simple style of this traditional farmhouse and the survival of many original features contribute to the architectural significance of the structure. Located on the foothills of the Slieve Bloom Mountains, Tulla House is representative of many farmhouses found throughout rural Ireland.
