Description
Cullaloe House is an 18th-century farmhouse to which a 5-bay, 2-storey classical garden block was added in the earlier 19th century by James Gillespie Graham. In the 1960s, two 2-bay, 2-storey wings were added to flank the garden block by Morris Taylor. The farmhouse and the modern wings have rendered walls with stone surrounds, while the garden block is constructed of smooth ashlar with a base course, a mid-storey band course, an entablature supported by double pilasters, a string course, a cornice, and a squat parapet.
The northwest elevation of the farmhouse shows a pair of single-storey outshots on the left and right, connected by a modern, central, flat-roofed extension. A further modern flat-roofed extension is set into the re-entrant angle of the right outshot. The original farmhouse has three evenly spaced windows on the first floor. The modern wings are set back on either side; they contain various openings.
The southeast elevation of the garden block is symmetrical. Each bay is flanked by a pair of double-height ante-pilasters. The central three bays are slightly advanced, with a centred door flanked by windows, and further flanking windows to slightly recessed single bays. Centred windows on the first floor are set close to the entablature. The modern flanking wings have a pair of evenly arranged windows on both the ground and first floors. A modern stone terrace runs the full length of the house and wings.
The northeast elevation has a plain gable to the farmhouse and a plain wall to the modern wing. A pair of double ante-pilasters define the plain wall of the garden block. The southwest elevation features a window to a modern extension and an inserted modern window on the farmhouse at ground level with a small attic window to the far right. A plain wall runs to the advanced modern wing, and a pair of double ante-pilasters define the wall of the garden block.
Modern, timber-panelled doors are located on the northwest side. The farmhouse and garden block elevations have 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The garden block's flanking wings have 9-pane timber sash and case windows (with a fixed upper row). The northwest elevation of the modern flanking wings have similar 6-pane windows. The farmhouse has a pitched grey slate roof with coped ashlar skews featuring beaked skewputts, corniced ashlar gable apex stacks, and circular clay cans. The garden block has a piended grey slate roof behind a squat parapet with two corniced ashlar gable apex stacks and circular clay cans.
A single-storey, single-bay, rectangular-plan outhouse is located to the southwest. It is constructed of painted random rubble with tooled long and short quoins, with a centred door on the northeast elevation and a small, eaves-high window on the northwest elevation. It has a timber boarded door and a piended grey slate roof.
