10 Creeduff Road, Castlederg, Co Tyrone, BT81 7TE

A detached three-bay two-storey house built around 1880, located on the south side of Creeduff Road in the townland of Aghnahoo, Castlederg. The building is rectangular in plan with a single-storey flat-roofed porch to the west and a single-storey gabled porch to the east. The pitched roof is covered in natural slate with blue and black clay ridge tiles, and rendered chimneys are topped with concrete coping. The walls are rendered with ruled-and-lined finish.

The principal elevation faces east. The left and right bays each contain a single window at ground and first floor level, all timber-framed 3/3 sliding sash with exposed sash boxes and stone sills. At first floor level these are 2/2 sash windows. The central bay is abutted by the flat-roofed entrance porch, which contains a single window and a door opening to the north elevation. The north elevation has two windows at first floor level. The south gable is blank. The west elevation contains five windows at first floor level. The right bay at ground floor is abutted by a gabled rubble porch containing a single window, with a timber-framed door to the north elevation. The exposed section at the left contains a vertically-sheeted timber entrance door flanked by single windows on either side. The north gable contains two windows at first floor level. All windows are stone-silled.

The house retains much of its original fabric internally and externally, including wall-hearths supporting wattle canopies and timber ceilings. A secondary staircase is present in the southern end, possibly indicating access to servants' quarters or an earlier dwelling incorporated into the present structure. A rubblestone rear porch and windows to the rear elevation that appear earlier in date than those to the northern end suggest the current house may incorporate an earlier dwelling. Cast-iron half-round and round downpipes are in place.

The property stands within a farm accessed from the road to the north via a long avenue, with the front yard accessed through rendered and rubble walling to the east. The yard to the north is enclosed on the west by a multi-bay two-storey mill building with a pitched natural slate roof. The walls are rubble with fieldstone quoins and timber-framed openings with sandstone lintels and sills. A central large opening features stone voussoirs. Internally, cast-iron wall-mounted machinery, possibly a mechanism for a mill wheel, remains in place. The yard is further enclosed to the north by single-storey stables with a pitched natural slate roof, now partially collapsed, and rubble walls with fieldstone quoins and stone lintels.

Historical records show that buildings appeared on this site on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1833, though none appear to have survived. A house on the site of the current dwelling appears on the 1853 second edition map, but the present structure dates from later. Extensive outbuildings to the north and a smaller structure to the south appear on the 1905 third edition map. Tooled stone used in the first storey of the northern outbuilding range may have been salvaged from earlier buildings no longer present.

In the Townland Valuation of 1828–40, the property was occupied by the Widow, later amended to Henry Rutledge, with a property valuation of £2 15 shillings 9 pence. Griffith's Valuation lists the property as occupied by Henry Rutledge and leased from Sir James Stronge, 1st Baronet, valued at £2. In 1913, George Rutledge became the owner in fee under the Land Purchase Acts of the early twentieth century. By 1933, the house comprised a kitchen, three further rooms, a pantry, and six bedrooms. The valuation rose significantly after this date, initially to £4 10 shillings, then to £7 15 shillings, with outbuildings valued at £2 10 shillings. A valuer's note from 1933 records: "house dry and in fair condition. No bath or W.C. Clean water in summer 300 yards away." Although mill machinery is present in an outbuilding, there is no reference to this activity on Ordnance Survey maps or in valuation records.

The building's original fabric and detailing are compromised due to poor condition and do not meet the criteria for listing.
