159 Tullysaran Road, Laraghshankill, Benburb, Co. Armagh, BT61 8HF

A single storey, three bay, lobby entry thatched house with walls of whitened stone and mud construction. The house faces south-west behind a low roughcast wall with projecting saddle back coping, square pillars with pyramidal caps and a hoop iron gate overlooking the junction of the Tullysaran and Maydown roads about one and a half miles south of Benburb. The thatch is contained within raised parapet gables both of which rise to a chimneystack and there is another stack above the position of the kitchen hearth. The entrance in a windbreak porch under an extension of the thatch covering is flanked on either side by two plain sashed windows with exposed frames and small sash stops. Those on the left (north-west) are more widely spaced. There is a similar window of reduced dimensions without a sill in the left-hand (north-west) gable and the building extends on the opposite side in corrugated iron roofed construction. At the rear starting from the north-east corner there is a plain sashed vertically sliding window without a sill and then two metal-framed windows with sills of traditional depths. Finally a lean-to extension is roofed with corrugated iron.
