House name	Description
Robe Villa	A town house on the River Robe, home of the Kenny family for 200 years, sold by them in the early 1980s to the Ballinrobe Rugby Club.
Ballinrobe Castle	A Bourke castle, restored by James Cuffe in 1752 and sold to the War Office in 1821 for use as a military barracks though a barracks existed there in the 18th century as Wilson refers to the town having a barracks with two companies of foot in 1786. The barracks were valued at £75 at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It ceased to be a barracks in the 1920s but substantial ruins of the buildings remain.
Partry House	Bence-Jones describes the house, situated on the shore of Lough Carra, as Georgian with a Wyatt window above the porch. It is likely that it incorporates an earlier house built in the latter part of the 17th century. In 1786 Wilson mentions "Cloonlagheen" as the seat of Mr. Lynch. It was the seat of the Lynch/Blosse Lynch family for three centuries. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was held in fee by Henry Lynch Blosse and valued at £14. Owned briefly by David Shaw Smith in the 1990s, now the home of Lorraine O'Donoghue.
Cloonee	A house built circa 1760, sometimes known as Lakeview. It was occupied in the late 1770s by a member of the Browne family and from the early 19th century by the Blakes. Thomas Walsh was the occupier at the time of Griffith's Valuation. He held the property from Colonel Charles Knox. Cloonee was the home of William Creagh Burke in the early 20th century. The "Connaught Telegraph" of 9 March 1935 reported the sudden death of William C. Burke of Lakeview in the Main Street of Ballinrobe when a fair was taking place. The property passed by marriage to the Ruttledge family of Bloomfield. see www.clooneehouse.com/
Springvale	Springvale was noted by Lewis as the home of Henry Joseph Blake in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was leased by Henry Blake from Joseph H. Bath and was valued at £8. A substantial corn mill in the townland, valued at £25, was leased by Henry Blake to Patrick Tierney at the same time. The house was later the residence of the Mayne family. It is still extant and occupied. The mill building is also still visible.
Cranmore	Built in 1838 by Alexander Clendining Lambert on land he held on lease from Colonel Charles Knox. It reverted to the Knoxes after the Famine and was used as a dower house by Colonel Charles Howe Cuff Knox for his mother, a daughter of the 2nd Marquess of Sligo. The house was bought by the Daly family in the 1920s and sold to the McCartans in the late 1940s. They took off the roof in the 1950s and the house is now a ruin.
Cuslough	Lewis describes this house as formerly a 'seat of Lord Tyrawley and now of R.Livesay'. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Richard Livesay, leasing from Colonel Charles Knox, when the house was valued at £12. It stood close to the ruins of Cuslough Castle.
Curramore House	Bence Jones dates this house as circa 1830. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Geoffrey Martyn and valued at £20. It was still in the possession of the Martyn family in the mid 1920s. Curramore is still extant and occupied.
Liskilleen	Built by Courtney Kenny in 1862. He was also the owner of the townland at the time of Griffith's Valuation when a herd's house existed there. It is still extant and occupied.
