Description
This is a two-storey, three-bay house located on the east side of High Street in Newtownbutler. It was constructed between 1840 and 1859 and is situated within the Aghagay townland. The house is set back from the road and is enclosed by a random rubble wall, accessed by a loop-headed wrought-iron gate supported on rubble stone gate piers with pyramidal caps.
The principal, west-facing elevation has walls rendered with stepped stucco quoins. It features a modern brick porch with a flat roof and a modern stained timber and glazed entrance door with matching side panels and a transom above. There is a 4/4 casement window in the wall-head gable, with a painted cill, and semicircular-headed painted recesses containing similar windows on either side. The right gable displays a ground floor window to the right and two first floor windows. The roof is half-hipped with natural slate tiles and a cement-rendered chimney between each bay, with advanced eaves supporting metal rainwater goods. All other windows are modern, top-hung uPVC casements, except where noted.
The rear elevation showcases a two-storey return, also with a pitched natural slate roof and a chimney to the end gable. A blank section is exposed on the left, while the right section has a single window. A lean-to addition abuts the left-end of the return, featuring metal-framed windows on both exposed cheeks. A central gabled porch with a modern glazed timber door is present on the south face of the return, alongside a side-hung window without a cill. Above, two first-floor windows are visible, the left being smaller, both with stone cills. The north face of the return contains a 1/1 sliding sash window on the ground floor and a casement window above. The lean-to extension also features a metal-framed window. The left gable of the main block incorporates a ground floor window to the left, with two aligned windows above, diminished in height, all being 1/1 sliding sashes.
The house first appeared on the 1857 Ordnance Survey 6-inch map and was described as "nearly finished" in the 1860 manuscript valuation records. It was occupied by John Lutton, the agent to the Earl of Lanesborough, who used it as a summer residence. The original building measured 36 feet by 24 feet and was 1.5 storeys high, including a porch and two two-storey returns, measuring 21 feet by 15 feet and 15 feet by 9 feet respectively.
