Description
This is a detached, two-bay, single-story vernacular dwelling, likely built around 1820. It is situated approximately 200 metres east of 5 Legnabraid Road, north of Legnabraid Road, Newtownstewart. The house has a direct-entry, rectangular plan. The roof is now covered in corrugated metal over what remains of a thatched structure, though the thatch is in a state of collapse. Brick gable stacks are present. The walls are lime-rendered random rubble. Window and door openings are now empty, although remnants of timber frames remain. The south-facing principal elevation has a central entrance and a window to either side. The left gable is blank, while the rear elevation contains four window openings, two in each bay. The right gable is also blank. Currently used as a store, the building is set in a remote rural location, and may have been associated with a farmyard to the northeast. The site is overgrown with vegetation and lacks visible surrounding structures.
Internally, original features include a wall hearth with a tapered brick canopy supported on brick jambs. The timber roof structure remains largely intact, with clear evidence of the former thatched roof beneath the corrugated metal. The building was depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1833 and appears in Griffith’s Valuation of 1858 as occupied by Charles Hagan, and leased from Rebecca Adams, with an original valuation of £1.5s, later revised to £0.15s. Valuation records show subsequent occupants, including Mary Hagan in 1882, and the deletion of a house on the same plot in 1872. While of vernacular character and with some notable original features, the building is currently in poor condition and is not considered to possess significant architectural or historical interest.
