House name	Description
Ardtully House	Richard J.T. Orpen was leasing Ardtully House from John Croker at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £23 5s. In 1814 Leet records it as the seat of Richard O. Townsend while Lewis, in 1837 mentions Ardtully as "the ancient mansion of Richard Orpen Townsend". It was also the seat of the Orpen family in the 1770s and 1780s. Bary states that this property included an earlier castle, which was originally part of the McFineen McCarthy lands forfeited in the seventeenth century. It was granted by the Hollow Blade Company to the Conways but, later in the eighteenth century, the Orpens were occupying the house, subsequently replaced in the nineteenth century. Recorded, perhaps mistakenly, as the seat of R.H.M. Orpen and Sir. R.J.T Orpenm in 1894, in 1906 it was owned by Richard H.M. Orpen and valued at £40. The Scottish-baronial style house was burnt in 1921 but the ruins remain.
Cloontoo	Adrian Taylor was leasing a property valued at £15 15s from John Croker at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Lewis notes it as the seat of R.E. Orpen in 1837. In 1814 Leet records the house as the seat of Edward Orpen. In 1851 the property was included in the sale of the Croker estate in the Encumbered Estates Court when Adrian Taylor was the occupier. It remained a residence of the Taylor family until the 1950s. Cloontoo is still extant and occupied.
Woodville	Richard Orpen was occupying a property valued at £18 5s at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Lewis also notes it as his residence in 1837. In 1814 Leet recorded it as the seat of Samuel Orpen. Bary states that this house was sometimes known as Cranberry House, though on the Ordnance Survey maps it appears as Woodville. It was occupied by various members of the Orpen family throughout the nineteenth century but is now ruinous.
Sillahertane House	John B. Warren was leasing this property from Richard Orpen at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £8 10s. It is named on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map as Sillahertane Cottage though Lewis records it as Sillerdine Cottage in 1837. Bary indicates that it was also known as Sillahertane House and Warren's Lodge.The house later came into the possession of Francis Wise Low, of Kilshane, county Tipperary, who extended it in the early years of the twentieth century. In 1906 it was owned by Sarah S. Lowe and valued at £40. It was burnt in 1921 and is now a ruin. It forms part of a 500-acre sporting estate which also includes a self-catering holiday home, dating from the 1870s. See www.sillahertane.com.for an in-depth history of the estate.
Bridgeville Park	Richard Orpen was leasing this property to Henry Orpen at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £7 15s. Capt. H. Orpen was recorded by Lewis in this property in 1837. In 1814, Leet mentions it as the seat of Henry Orpen. It is described as "in ruins" on the 1895 map.
