Levally	Home of the Fair family for a time in the 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was leased by James Simpson from the Earl of Lucan's estate and valued at £5. It is described as a "Herd's House". It was unoccupied in the early years of this century and for sale in 2007. Demolished in September 2007.
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/
