House name	Description
Mount Carmel	A house built in the early 19th century; the Tithe Applotment Book 1829 records the occupant as John Ker while the Ordnance Survey Field Name Book records Miss Kerr as resident. William Alexander Williams of Mount Carmel, a nephew of Colonel John Ker of Mountain Lodge, took the additional name of Ker in 1846. Mount Carmel was advertised for sale in 1854. It was unoccupied at the time. By the time of Griffith’s Valuation the buildings had a rateable valuation of £7 and the house was occupied by George Bennie and held from Samuel Moorhead. This house continues to be a well maintained residence.
Mountain Lodge/Farmoyle House	This house was originally known as Mountain Lodge but in more recent times the name Farmoyle House has been used. In the 1830s it was the residence of Colonel John Ker, who was succeeded by his nephew William Alexander Williams. In January 1851 the Mountain Lodge estate of W. A. Williams Ker was advertised for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court, with an estate in county Meath. The mansion house was at the time occupied by Mrs Ann Ker, aged 83 years, widow of the Colonel. It was purchased by George Bennie, who held it in fee at the time of Griffith’s Valuation but was selling it in 1865. By the time the 25 inch Ordnance Survey map was compiled the building was reduced in size and has been further altered in more recent times. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage records the building as unoccupied.

Griffith’s Valuation records James McCullagh as the occupier who held the property which included offices, corn and flax mills, in fee. The buildings were valued at £42. This house is now a ruin.

Advertised for sale in the Sunday Times on 5 June 2011 after renovation.
Cremorne House/Cremorne Green	The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage links the building of this house to Alexander Jackson, a member of a family with strong milling interests in the locality. The Ordnance Survey Field Name Book states that it was a neat house of two stories and basement, formerly known as Cremorne Lodge, from having been built on the property of Lord Cremorne. The surveyor continues - it was called ‘Cremorne Green when it became the property of Mr Jackson who was an extensive bleach and linen merchant’. Lewis records J. Jackson as the proprietor. Valued at £12 and occupied by John Jackson at the time of Griffith’s Valuation in the mid-19th century. This house is now a ruin.
Drumfaldra House	Drumfaldra was the residence John Jackson Cunningham ‘situated on a hill’ in SE of the townland (OS Field Name Book) and is believed to have been built by him (The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage), possibly on the site of an earlier Jackson house. It was associated with a milling enterprise in this townland. By the time of Griffith’s Valuation the house was occupied by George Browne and held from Robert Murdock. A Samuel Brown lived at Drumfaldra until his death in 1911.

Goodlatt and held from William Watson. These buildings were at a different location and by the mid-19th century Sallyville appears to be no longer in existence.
