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.
Woodlands or Aghana	Robert Leslie was leasing this property to Pierce Leslie at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £8 15s. Lewis records it as the seat of Pierce Leslie in 1837. Bary notes that Robert Leslie was reared by Pierce Leslie, the owner of this property, when he succeeded his father at a young age. The house seems to have been known at times as Aghana House and is still extant and occupied

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.

In the early years of the twentieth century the house was destroyed by fire but was re-built and is still extant.
