Appraisal
Tullagee House is a charming well-proportioned house, attractively situated within mature grounds. Its simple façade has retained much original fabric with the elegant doorcase and interesting door furniture being particularly notable. The extensive stone outbuildings to the south forms part of the original site complex and create a group of important utilitarian structures which compliment Tullagee House; forming an architecturally significant collection of buildings which make a positive contribution to the built heritage of County Louth.
