House name Description
Pyrmont House Wilson refers to "Fyrmont" as the seat of George Leake in 1786. In 1837 Lewis recorded this house as the seat of W. Sandes. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the representatives of Lord Hallyburton's estate were leasing this property to William Sandes, whom Bary describes as the most "fair-minded" of the Sandes family and a noted horseman. The house was valued at £13 10s at the time. Prymount was included in the sale of the Gun Mahony estate in 1856 when William Sandes was recorded as the tenant from year to year. It later passed to the Sandes of Swallowglen and was subsequently demolished.

Tarbert House Tarbert House was owned by Robert Leslie at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £24 10s. Both Leet in 1814 and Lewis, in 1837, note it as the seat of R. Leslie. In 1906 it was valued at £25. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the house was built c.1720. In 1786 Wilson describes it as "happily situated on an eminence commanding an extensive view". The house has remained in the Leslie family since that time though the estate was sold to the tenants c.1904. It is open to the public during the summer months. Photo of Tarbert House
