Tullagreen House

Detached five-bay two-storey over raised basement country house, built c. 1820, incorporating fabric of earlier dwelling and having single-bay breakfronts to north and south elevations, two-storey canted projection to east elevation and single-bay single-storey extension to west end of north elevation incorporating entrance. Skirt roof with overhanging eaves, render eaves course, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Render cornice to canted bay. Rendered walls with render quoins. Recessed blind roundels having moulded render surrounds to north elevation of single-storey extension. Square-headed diminishing window openings with painted sills and two-over-two pane and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed windows to west elevation of single-storey extension having moulded render arcaded surrounds, cut stone sills and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed door opening to single-storey extension with render doorcase comprising piers supporting moulded archivolt set in recess, having timber panelled door and overlight. Square-headed door opening to south elevation with timber panelled half-glazed double-leaf doors surmounted by overlight and approached by flight of rendered steps.

Seat of the Martin family, and more recently of Major W.J. Green, this house reveals continuous settlement since the early nineteenth century. Its evolution is evident in the array of window openings retained including early tall narrow Georgian timber sliding sashes and later Victorian round-headed examples with decorative moulded surrounds. Located on an elevated site in the landscape Tullagreen house forms an important local landmark, part of the social and architectural history of the area.
