Description
Detached four-bay two-storey rendered farmhouse, built around 1840, located on a triangular site between Scraghy and Edenreagh Roads near Castlederg. The house is T-shaped on plan, facing east, with a hipped artificial slate roof, synthetic ridge tiles, two large rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. The walling is painted rough-cast render with square-headed window openings, painted stone sills and uPVC windows.
The front elevation features four bays with a double-height projection to the right bay and a lean-to entrance porch to the inner corner. This porch is screened by a raised wall with parapet and cornice and contains a round-headed window opening and round-headed door opening with original cast-iron fanlight and uPVC door. The south elevation is single-bay two-storey with a catslide roof to the west and a gabled projecting rear entrance porch with concrete roof and uPVC door. The rear elevation is four-bay two-storey with a projecting left bay, whilst the remaining three bays are covered by the catslide rear roof pitch. The north elevation is two-bay two-storey.
The interior remains relatively intact despite the loss of original fenestration. The house comprises a kitchen, scullery, small dairy, three reception rooms and six bedrooms, with no bathroom.
A substantial range of rubble outbuildings lies to the south of the house, which retain much of their materials and character. These form an enclosed yard, with a linear range of single-storey rubblestone outbuildings running across the centre of the yard, featuring corrugated iron pitched roofs, whitewashed walls, multi-pane timber windows and timber plank doors. A multi-bay two-storey range to the east has a pitched corrugated iron roof, stone chimney stack, timber plank half-doors and stone steps. A single-storey range encloses the southern part of the yard with a shallow pitched natural slate roof, timber fixed-pane windows and timber plank doors. An early twentieth-century shed with corrugated iron barrel roof and cement rendered walling encloses the yard to the west. Replacement steel gates open onto Scraghy Road, whilst a formal entrance to the north apex comprises a pair of decorative cast-iron gates on large stone ashlar piers with capstones, opening onto Edenreagh Road.
A disused front avenue leads north through the front lawn to the apex of the site, with a rear access lane to the east. The front door opens into a front lawn enclosed to the south by a rubblestone wall. A side entrance opens onto the rear access lane, and the rear garden is enclosed by a rubblestone wall with rendered arched opening.
The property appears on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1833 as outbuildings only, with the main house first appearing on the second edition of 1853, where it is captioned "Fort Town". The house is listed in the Townland Valuation of 1828-40, with the entry appearing to have been made at a later date than other entries, suggesting the house was newly built during this period. Audley Caldwell is listed as the occupier, with the buildings valued at £19.4s. By Griffith's Valuation of 1856-64, the property comprises a house, offices, land and turbary, still occupied by Audley Caldwell, who leases from the Earl of Castlestuart, with a valuation of £12, later revised to £15. Sarah Caldwell becomes occupier in 1862. In 1886, Eliza Caldwell leases from Samuel Leary M.D., with the valuer noting that buildings are "going to ruin" and reducing the value to £10. Samuel Johnston occupies the property in 1893 and requests revaluation in 1903; the valuers' notebook records that "some offices" are down, part of the house is in good repair, but the return is dilapidated, and the valuation is reduced to £9. William Duncan becomes occupier in 1912 and Jane Duncan in 1924; she is recorded as owner in fee in 1928. A 1933 valuation notes no bathroom and no water in the house, though clean water is reported to be "fairly close". The valuation is raised to £13, though this change is undated.
Due to alterations over time, the house's architectural interest has been substantially diminished, though the range of outbuildings remains a notable feature of the site.
