It was purchased by the Hughes family in the 1940s and is still in their possession.

Coarsefield	The Grays were in possession of Coarsefield by the late 1830s. The present house was probably built by the Tighe family who bought Coarsefield from the Grays and sold it to the Stephens family in the early 20th century.
Oory/Coarsefield	It is probable that the townland of Coarsefield was part of Oory in the 18th century and that Oory was divided into two townlands at the time of the first Ordnance Survey. The remains of an old house are still visible at Coarsefield, close to the present house, and it is believed that this was Oory House, home of the Bourkes and later owned by the Nettervilles. In 1814 "Course-field" belonged to James Netterville. The sales rental of the Gray estate of Coarsefield in 1861 refers to one wall remaining of the old Netterville house.
