House name	Description
Kinlough House (Oakfield House)	Kinlough House was originally known as Oakfield House and was the seat of the Johnston family from the early eighteenth century. It was remodelled in the 1820s by Robert Johnston and renamed Kinlough House. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Kinlough House was occupied by William Johnston and was valued at £45. In 1906 James Johnston was the owner of the mansion house at Kinlough valued at £43 as well as 220 acres of untenanted demesne land. In 1943 the Irish Tourist Association Survey recorded that the house had been destroyed by fire some 20 years previously but that the gardens were still open to the public. Kinlough House is depicted in a ruined state in the Buildings of Ireland survey. Major new housing development is occuring on the site, adjacent to the walled garden.
Brookhill (Rossinver)	Brookhill is described as the residence of Capt. Johnston in 1835. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was occupied by Johnston Sharpe and valued at £10. In 1894 Slater notes that it was the seat of Capt. Forbes Johnston. It is the only Johnston residence still extant.
Mount Prospect	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, William Johnston was leasing a house valued at £14 to Glasgon Connolly at Aghaderrard West, barony of Rosclogher. This is the house known as Mount Prospect. Both the Ordnance Survey Field Name Books and Lewis record Mount Prospect as a seat of the Connolly family in 1837. In 1894 and 1906 it was the property of St. George Robert Johnston and was also valued at £14. The remains of various buildings still exist although a new house seems to have been constructed at the site near the lake shore.
Rose Lodge or Dingleicoush	Penelope St. George was leasing this property from the Conolly estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £17. The house is no longer extant. On some earlier maps it is labelled as Rose Lodge but on the 25-inch map of the early 20th century it is labelled Dingleicoush.
Higginstown House	Henry Coen was leasing Higginstown House from the Conolly estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £13. By 1906 it was still in Coen ownership and valued at £20. It is now a ruin. Coen was, in turn, leasing a smaller property, known as Waterloo Cottage (G874606), to Frances Sheil. This house was valued at almost £10. It is still extant.
