A smaller property, labelled Singland Cottage, is shown nearby. On the later 25-inch map of the 1890s, the original Singland House is no longer visible and Singland Cottage is named Singland House. It is no longer extant. The original Singland house is probably that referred to by Wilson as the seat of Mr. Dwyer in 1786.
