House name	Description
Milltown Castle	Originally the home of Thomas Evans, a younger brother of the 1st Baron Carbery, and of his son Eyre Evans. Mary, sister of Eyre Evans, married George Bruce in the mid 18th century. The Castle was subsequently leased by the Evans to the Bruces and it remained the home of the Bruces until the late 19th century. Described by Lewis as “a handsome castellated mansion in the later English style”. Reduced in size in the early 20th century. The Irish Tourist Association Survey of the 1940s noted that the buildings, at that time the residence of the Keane family, were not in good repair. However, the building continues to be occupied.
Fortwilliam	A house on the Evans estate occupied by William Barry at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £23, later a Sheehy residence. The Sheehy sale rental of 1875 records the house containing 3 reception rooms and 5 bedrooms. It was conveyed to Robert K. Sheehy by Edward R. C. Barry on 7 January 1874 and advertised for sale in June 1875. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage dates this Tudor Revival house from circa 1880 to the design of Sir John Jackson (1851-1919), so the present house may incorporate the earlier one which is marked on the first Ordnance Survey map. In 2006 this house was no longer occupied.
Kilbolane	Home of the Barry family in the late 18th and 19th centuries located on the Evans estate. Occupied by Edward Robert Caulfield Barry in the early 1850s when the house was valued at £39. There was also a flour mill closeby. Sold by the Barrys at the end of the 19th century to David O'Leary Hannigan and later purchased by Milford Creamery who demolished the house in the mid 20th century.

The family was still resident in 1837 but by the early 1850s the house was occupied by Edmond Irwin who held it form Richard Gibbons. It was valued at £14. Later occupants were local priests and it was eventually sold by the Gibbings in the late 19th century. In 1944 the Irish Tourist Association Survey referred to it as the home of the Cagney family who had purchased the property c.1912 and also that it was famous for growing the Toormore apple, used in making cider. The house is still occupied.
