Corraneary House was built circa 1850. It was the home of Colonel Fulke Southwell Greville, held by him in fee and valued at £23. The house was part of the Greville estate offered for sale in 1864, when it was described as an ‘excellent modern dwelling house with suitable and extensive out-offices, handsomely situated on the banks of Corraneary Lake.
