Site of house, Carbet Road, Tamnaficarbet, Portadown, Craigavon, Co Armagh

The site, located on the north side of Carbet Road approximately two miles northwest of Portadown, was formerly the location of a vernacular house constructed primarily before 1835. The house was demolished after 1974, leaving only the farmyard gateway.

A survey from 1974 described the house as a part single, part two-storey structure with a slated roof and rendered gable ends. The walls were rendered and whitewashed, with a brick base. The single-storey section on the left had three drop-hung sash windows, lacking astragals, but featuring a narrow, blue-painted raised surround. A projecting porch with a slated shed roof, sheeted door, plain narrow fanlight, and decorative transom was also present. The two-storey section on the right had a similar drop-hung window on the first floor, alongside two small, sheeted window openings. The ground floor mirrored this with a window and sheeted door below a window opening. The south front was approximately 65 feet wide. Associated farm outbuildings were originally present.

A building is indicated on the 1835 Ordnance Survey map, but it was not listed in contemporary valuations. Records from 1861 describe a thatched, single-storey dwelling occupied by Sarah Taylor, valued at £2-5-0. John Taylor succeeded her in 1873, and a valuation increase to £3-5-0 in 1882 suggests the addition of a storey to the eastern section. John Taylor died around 1900, and William Parks took the lease in 1905, adding a new hayshed the following year. Parks later acquired the freehold in 1910 and remained until annual valuation records ceased in 1929.

Only the vehicle gateway remains, comprising rendered, pyramidal-capped piers and wrought-iron gates. Supporting documentation includes Ordnance Survey maps and valuation records from the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI), alongside a first survey record card from 1974.
