Place & story

An early house with later changes

The architectural inventory dates Tully House to about 1820, with remodelling and a rear extension around 1860. Its angled entrance bay contains an elliptical-headed doorway with a carved timber surround and fanlight. Sash windows, a hipped slate roof and brick chimneystacks complete the main building. At the roadside, round iron gate piers and curved low walls with railings form an entrance to the grounds. [2]
