Historical Information

There are buildings on the plot from the first edition of the ordnance survey (1833) and the present building appears to be a modification, dating from late nineteenth century or early twentieth century, of the original vernacular structure. Brick detailing to the rear suggests a possible first storey addition. The plot is recorded in Griffith’s valuation as occupied by the Houston family and leased from the Kellys. It is valued at £1.5s. Charles Patterson becomes the occupier in 1901, and in 1922 the value is raised to £8, however the character of the detailing on the house would suggest that it had been modified some time before this date.

Evaluation

Detached three-bay one-and-a-half-storey house, built c.1830, raised and extended c.1900, located to east side of Tattyreagh Road. The building retains many original features and incorporates its original form and layout including a byre at south. The site including attached outbuildings and farmyard remains of some interest but the development of and changes to the building have compromised its character and it is not among the best examples of the type.
