Little Tulloch

Little Tulloch is a late 19th-century house, likely designed by George Truefitt. It is a single-storey and attic building with a T-shaped plan and a single-storey wing. The house is constructed of squared and snecked granite with finely finished, rough-faced dressings. It has sloping, projecting cills and crowstepped gables.

The south-east elevation, which is the principal facade, is symmetrical. A projecting, oversailing porch sits centrally at ground floor level, sheltering a tripartite window and glazed panelled doors to the left and right returns. Flanking bays contain tripartite windows, and the attic floor has a piend-roofed, canted dormer. A single-storey wing extends to the outer left with a tripartite window.

The north-east elevation is nearly symmetrical, with a window positioned slightly off-centre on the ground floor. The attic gable features a tripartite window and a geometric finial.

The north-west elevation is asymmetrical, with a single-storey lean-to on the right of the ground floor. There are two small bipartite windows to the right, and a bipartite window to the left return. The single-storey wing is advanced to the outer right; the north-west elevation is blank. A convex-shouldered boarded doorway is set within the crowstepped gable of the left return, accompanied by a boarded timber door and a glazed panelled timber door to the left.

The south-west elevation is partially obscured by the single-storey wing. A two-leaf boarded timber door is present to the right, with irregular fenestration to the left. The attic gable features a tripartite window, topped by an iron finial.

Most windows are timber sash and case with two panes, some incorporating decorative stained glass. The roof is covered in two-tone grey slate with fishscale banding and lead ridges. The wallhead stacks are rough-faced, shouldered, and coped granite with circular cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are fitted. The interior was not inspected in 1998.

To the north-west of the house is a single-storey, three-bay ancillary structure built of rubble. It has piend-roofed additions made of rough-faced stone to the south-west and north-east. This ancillary structure’s south-east elevation is asymmetrical with a boarded timber door to the centre, flanked to the right by a boarded timber door, and a glazed panelled timber door to the left, next to a timber window. The south-west and north-east elevations are blank. The north-west elevation is asymmetrical with a small infilled opening in the centre; a pitched roof with an oversailing porch sits to the right, with a missing slate; a further small opening is to the right return, and a boarded timber door is to the left return.

The ancillary building is roofed with purple-grey slate, with a stone ridge. It features stone skews and coped granite gablehead stacks with circular cans and cast-iron rainwater goods, some of which are missing. The interior of the ancillary building was not inspected in 1998.

A stepped-down, rough-faced boundary wall with rough-faced coping encloses the garden to the south-east of the house. Two looped iron gates are positioned to the left and right of the entrance porch. Rubble walls define the north-west boundary, with an iron gate to the north-east.
