Appraisal
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.
