House name	Description
Derreen	Peter McSweeney was leasing the property at Derreen from the Lansdowne estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £6 10s. Lewis also notes it as his residence in 1837. Bary states that Derreen was originally built by a branch of the O'Sullivans from whom it passed to Peter McSweeney who was married to a member of that family. It formed part of the Lansdowne estate and later came into the possession of the Petty-Fitzmaurices. In 1906 it was owned by that estate and was valued at £53 15. It was burnt in the early 1920s but rebuilt in the same style and is still extant and occupied. It is famous for its beautiful gardens.
Reen Lodge	Leased by Robert White from the Bantry estate in 1852 when the house was valued at £10+. Noted by Leet as the residence of Rev. William Hodnett in 1814. In the later half of the nineteenth century it seems to have been occupied by the Leonard family. Documents in relation to it exist in the Bantry Estate papers. The Irish Tourist Association survey in the 1940s refer to it as owned by Mr. Regan. It is still extant and occupied.
