House name Description
Birchgrove The home of the Birch family, occupied by George Birch in 1814. In 1837 Lewis writes that Birchgrove was the seat of J. Birch and that some additions were made to the house by the "late Mr Elsam". The 1835 map of Birchgrove includes a small pen and ink drawing of the house. Griffith's Valuation records George Birch as the occupier holding the house valued at £27+ and his distillery valued at £66 from the Earl of Portarlington. In 1910 Birch Grove was the home of Edward Robert Birch, eldest son of James Sayce Birch and his wife, Mary Warburton. This house on the outskirts of Roscrea is still a residence. Photo of Birchgrove
Corville Corville was the residence of the Hon Francis A. Prittie in the first half of the 19th century. He was a brother of the 2nd Lord Dunalley. He represented county Tipperary in Parliament and died in 1853. Lewis describes the house as "a handsome structure in the Grecian style". In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to the townland of Corville as "large and beautiful, the principal parts nicely laid out with plantings". At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was valued at £58 and held from the Messrs Birch. The sale rental of 1858 includes a lithograph of the house. The house belonged to O'Byrne family in the later part of the 19th century and is recorded as the seat of Count John O'Byrne in 1894. Now functions as a nursing home. Photo of Corville
Racket Hall Racket Hall was occupied by Patten Smith in 1814. Lewis writes that Messrs Birch and Co had a large brewery at Racket Hall and Mrs Mary Birch was the occupier of the house at the time of Griffith's Valuation.

Ashbury Ashbury, a house valued at £12 in the mid 19th century, was the residence of Timothy Bridge. Members of the Bridge family held the townland from the Earl of Portarlington at this time. The Irish Times reported, in February 1869, that Frederick Bridge had sold lands in the barony of Ikerrin to Rev. Dean Wolseley for over £2000. In the 1870s Edward and Timothy Bridge both of Ashbury owned 191 and 143 acres respectively in county Tipperary.
Glenalbert House Glen Albert House was the home of Albert E. Maxwell in 1837. In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Name Books note the opinion that "this is an Irish name fabricated at a very recent period". It was also occupied by A.E.Maxwell at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at £30 and held from Dawson H. Vaughan. The Harte Maxwells were resident at Glenalbert in the first two decades of the 20th century. This house is now completely demolished.

By the time of Griffith's Valuation Frederick A. Jackson was the occupier, holding the property in fee. The buildings were valued at £50. There appear to be two houses at Inane, a nine bay house dating from the early 18th century and a 19th century house very closeby. The Jacksons were still resident in the 1870s and the representatives of Henry V. Jackson held the property in 1906. It is still extant. Photo of Inane
