House name	Description
Greenhills	Greenhills was part of the estate of the Marquess of Sligo until the sale to William Livingstone in 1854 and was let to Joseph Bourke in the early 19th century. It was later occupied by Archibald Stavert who held it from William Livingstone at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It was owned by Matt Fahy in the late 1990s and is still extant.
Westport House	Built on the site of the O'Malley castle of Cathair na Mart by Colonel John Browne, expanded by his grandson to the design of Richard Cassels, the house has remained in the possession of the Browne family for over three centuries. They still live there and the house and its grounds function as a major tourist attraction.
Cherry Cottage	A house inhabited mainly by agents to the Marquess of Sligo, including George Hildebrand in the mid nineteenth century and George Taylor in the early 20th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was valued at £15. The Hastings interest in this house was sold in the Landed Estates' Court in November 1874. It is still extant.
Summerville/Villa Lodge	A house orginally built for a member of the Browne family, it was leased by the 2nd Marquess of Sligo to Courtney Kenny of Ballinrobe in 1830 and was used by the Kennys as a summer residence. Courtney Kenny leased the property to John Sidney Smith, agent to the Westport estate in 1855. The house was valued at £14 at this time. A drawing, map and 20th century accounts re this property are included in the Kenny Papers.
Prospect House	Home of the Buchanan family in the latter part of the 19th century. Slater refers to it as the seat of Col. Henry J. Buchanan in 1894. Still extant and very well maintained.
Trafalgar Lodge	Described in the sale advertisement of 1866 as a commodious dwelling in the cottage style on the seashore, containing 'good parlour, four bedrooms, with coach house, stabling, piggery and other useful offices, the entire forming a square and enclosing a spacious yard'. The occupant was James Louden and the house had formerly been the residence of Captain Butcher of the Mayo Rifles. In 1874 the interest of Bridget Hastings in Trafalgar Lodge was advertised for sale in the Landed Estates' Court.
Moyour	This property was held in fee by Martha McDonnell at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at almost £5. Described in the sale advertisement of 1870 as a 'commodious thatched house'. It is labelled as "in ruins" on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.
Altamont Villa	A Browne house described in the 1830s as a slated house with 2 stories at the rear. Also known as Mallow Cottage and possibly New Brighton Lodge, it was leased by the 2nd Marquess of Sligo to Neal Davis in the late 1830s. Sold to William O'Brien, whose widow left it to the Convent of Mercy.
Knockranny	A house in the town of Westport occupied by the Livingstones. It was valued at £40 at the time of Griffith's Valuation which included the house, offices, gate lodge and another lodge. This may have been the house marked on the first Ordnance Survey map as Westport Lodge. This building now forms part of the Sacred Heart School complex.
Hazelrock Lodge	Valued at £5 at the time of Griffith's Valuation and held by the Honourable George Frederick Yelverton from Viscount Avonmore. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage contends that it was built in the early nineteenth century for Barry John Yelverton, third Viscount Avonmore. It is now a ruin.
Rosehill	Built by Sir Samuel O'Malley in the early 19th century but a ruin by the time of the first Ordnance Survey. Occupied by Mr P.Gibbons in 1814.
Belclare	At the time of Griffith's Valuation all of Belclare townland was held by James Pinkerton and John Thompson who had a large milling business there, as well as three houses valued at £26, £13 and £18. The Livingstones must have bought out Pinkerton and Thompson. Belclare Lodge is marked on the OS map of 183. The Livingstone's house is shown on the 25-inch map of the 1890s, labelled Shivdella House, which is still extant. Buildings were demolished at Belclare in the late 20th century to make room for building development.
Kinnewry House	Home of Charles Crotty in the second half of the 19th century. The grid reference for this property is approximate.
