The geometry of the Newman-Unti-Tamburino (NUT) vacuum solution is characterized as the unique Petrov Type D vacuum metric such that the two double principal null directions form an integrable distribution. We study expanding and twisting non-vacuum Type D metrics in this geometry, with the additional assumption $\Phi_{01}=\Phi_{12}=0$. We prove that these conditions determine the solutions up to a freedom in $\Phi_{11}\pm 3\Lambda$.
