The house is named "Tullygarran House" on the 1st edition of the Ordnance Survey map and is so described in the Ordnance Survey Name Books where it is noted it was "three stories high and about a century old". The house later became known as Chute Hall. Bary notes that the Chutes had been resident in this area since the seventeenth century on what had been McElligott land. In 1894 it was the residence of Mrs. Chute. Richard, the last of the Chutes to live here, died in 1936.

The house has been demolished but the substantial gateway remains inside which are some fine ogham stones.
