Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1820, now disused. Hipped slate roof having clay ridge tiles and rendered chimneystacks. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed door opening. Approached from overgrown laneway to north having painted rendered boundary walls terminating in square-plan piers with single-leaf wrought-iron gate. Outbuilding to north comprising four-bay single-storey north range, having pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, coursed sandstone rubble walls, segmental-arch carriage entrances with tooled limestone voussoirs. Outbuilding to west seven-bay and single-storey, with pitched corrugated-iron roof, coursed sandstone rubble walls with cast-iron tie plate, and buttressed to south end, with square-headed window and door openings having limestone rubble voussoirs and timber fittings, and central round-headed vehicualr entrance with tooled stone voussoirs. Numerous recent outbuildings with cement block walls and corrugated-iron roofs to site. Three-bay single-storey gate lodge to north, having pitched slate roof, coursed sandstone rubble chimneystacks and clay ridge tiles, coursed sandstone rubble walls, square-headed window openings having timber fittings, with one four-pane timber casement window, and square-headed timber battened door. Coursed rubble sandstone boundary walls terminating in square-plan piers with curved caps and wrought-iron pedestrian gate. Curved entrance having painted rendered walls terminating in square-plan piers with pointed caps, having double-leaf decorative wrought-iron gates.

This middle-sized nineteenth-century house is enhanced by the retention of its slate roof and timber sliding sash windows. The associated outbuildings have interesting tooled voussoirs which exhibit some stone-working skill. The lodge forms a succinct introduction to the property and helps to contextualise the architecture of the house while reflecting the design of similar buildings in the area. The entrance retains its wrought-iron gates which reflect those located closer to the house itself. Tullig House is associated with the Earls of Egmont, connecting it both socially and stylistically with numerous buildings in the area surrounding Buttevant.

Enclosure in Tullig (orrery and Kilmore By.)Enclosure · 165 yd

Explorer Tom This enclosure in Tullig is just a cropmark, which means it smells like invisible old hay. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting, but one where the paint has been scraped off by time.

Bregoge HouseHouse · 357 yd

Explorer Tom Bregoge House is obsessed with 'Dancing Queen' because it thinks its double-leaf door looks good doing the cha-cha. Whisper a secret to the gates; they might just whisper back, but don’t trust them.

Curraghmount HouseCountry house · 837 yd

Explorer Tom Curraghmount House is showing off its dramatic Wyatt windows like they’re Broadway spotlights. An MP used to live here, so expect some serious political posturing from the bricks. Give it a polite nod.

Lisgriffin CastleCastle · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Lisgriffin Castle in County Cork is just standing there with a look that says 'I have seen things.' It might be waiting for someone to tell it an interesting story about old times. Tell me what you see!

Templeconnell Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Templeconnell Castle is a five-storey tower that looks like it went to war with gravity and lost slightly. The Percivals took over in 1656 after the Magners got tired of the drama. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes and feel ancient.

Sycamore2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Sycamore in County Cork caused the whole parish to argue for a week over which side is prettier. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me and probably start shouting.

TowerDovecote · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Dovecote in Ballybeg East is full of pigeon holes stacked up to the ceiling. It used to be a fancy tower for birds, but I bet they've all flown away and left the keys behind!

Battle of LiscarrollMajor battlefield · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Battle of Liscarroll in County Cork is where Irish Confederates and Royalists had a go, mostly because they couldn't agree on who was right. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

European Yew6.5 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew here, planning retirement by just standing still for another five hundred years. It says it's saving up leaves for a big trip to the afterlife. Stick around for the light changing, it's a slow burn show.
