House name	Description
West Cove	Edward J. Hartopp was leasing this property at Coad, valued at £14 15s, to Eugene O’Sullivan at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Lewis mentions Castle Cove as the residence of Mr. O'Sullivan in 1837 but he may have meant this house. In 1814, Leet noted Cooe as the seat of John Sesggerson and Bary states that, prior to the O'Sullivan occupation, West Cove was the seat of the Seggerson family. It is still extant and sometimes let as holiday accommodation.
Scart	James F. Bland was leasing a house valued at £10 15s to William Jermyn at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Bary states that Scart house was occupied for several generations of the Jermyn family before being sold in the 1890s. It is still extant and occupied.
Castle Cove	Thomas Jermyn was leasing a house valued at £10 10s to John Jermyn at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Lewis describes Castle Cove as the seat of Mr. O'Sullivan in 1837 though he may have been referring to West Cove House. Leet, in 1814, mentions "Cooe Castle" as the seat of David Jermyn, Bary notes that Castle Cove was in the possession of the Jermyn family in the nineteenth century. They were agents for the Bland estate. It is no longer extant.
Rossdohan	In 1906, Samuel T. Heard, MD, owned this property at Rossdohan, barony of Dunkerron South, when it was valued at £27. Bary states that this house was built in 1875 by Thomas Heard, a surgeon who had retired from India. He died in the early 1920s and the house was burned around that time. There are remains of a later house still visible on the island.
Mill Cove (Bear)	Leased by Patrick O'Sullivan from the Earl of Bantry's estate in 1852 when it was valued at £14. Local sources suggest O'Sullivan worked as an agent for the White estate. The house has been demolished though traces of the stone work can still be seen in the gardens which are now part of an art gallery and sculpture display.
Cametringane House	In use at the time of Griffith's Valuation, as an Auxiliary Workhouse, on lease from the Earl of Bantry's estate. The house was then valued at almost £18. Lewis referred to it as the seat of J. O'Sullivan in 1837. In use as a hotel towards the end of the twentieth century.
Glebe House (Killaconenagh)	Held in fee by Rev. Thomas O'Grady in 1852 when the house was valued at £11 5s. In 1942 the Irish Tourist Association Survey reported the Glebe House as the residence of Reverend Wolfe and that it had been the birthplace of the well-known author, Standish James O'Grady. This appears to be the house noted as Heathmount by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage.
Lancet Lodge	The Puxley estate owned two houses in this townland at the time of Griffith's Valuation, in 1852. One, valued at £14 10s, was leased by John Greenway. It is labelled Dispensary on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map and as Lancet Lodge on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. The house is still extant and occupied. The second property, valued at £10, was leased by Phillip Armstrong. It is not labelled on the 1st Edition Ordnance Map. [Grid Reference approximate]
Brandy Hall	Daniel Leah yheld this property in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation though it is not clear if he was occupying it. It was valued at almost £5. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built c.1830 and altered in the early twentieth century. It is still extant and occupied and has been offered for sale in recent years.
