House name	Description
Bawn House (Longford)	In 1837 Lewis described Bawn House as the property of Mr. Fox but the seat of Arthur Griffith. The Ordnance Survey Name Books note the occupant as Mr. Babington in the mid-1830s. John Daly was leasing the house from John S. Kirwan’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at almost £19. In 1906 it was the property of Henry B. Armstrong and valued at £13. There is a ruin at the site.
Mount Jessop	In 1837 Lewis referred to Mount Jessop as the seat of F. Jessop. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s it was leased by the representatives of Thomas Conroy to Henry Crawford, when it was valued at almost £19. This is the same valuation assigned to it by the original Valuation Office books in 1839 when the occupier was John Jessop. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was demolished c.1980. A substantial stable block and other estate architecture survives.
Williamstown House (Longford)	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Williamstown House was leased by William Allen from the Edgeworth estate, when it was valued at £10. A much smaller building appears at the site on the 1st edition Ordnance survey map. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the existing Williamstown was built c.1847. It is still in use. In the 1870s William Allen was recorded as the owner of almost 200 acres in County Longford.
Viewmount House (Longford)	Edward C. Hill was leasing this property from Francis Hughes at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £17.

The Ordnance Survey Name Books described it as 'a good dwelling house with a good kitchen garden' in the mid-1830s. The National Built Heritage Service associates the property with the Cuffe and Pakenham families and dates the original house to the mid-18th century. It has, in the past, been operated as a luxury guesthouse

The later house is still extant and in use as a house.
Greenfield House	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the mid-1850s, this house was vacant though John Lynch was described as the immediate lessor. The house was valued at £12 at the time.
