House name	Description
Rosemount House/Oldcourt	Rose Mount House is also known as Old Court, both names appear on the OS maps. The village nearby is known as Rosemount. Described by buildings of Ireland as a well-balanced structure originally built by the Geoghegan Family in the late eighteenth-century, probably replacing an earlier house. Leet records John Pim occupying a house named Rosemount near Moate in 1814 and Lewis records Lady Nagle as the occupant in 1837. O’Brien writes that it was inherited by the Nugent family of Ballinacor through marriage. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation it was occupied by John J Nugent who held it from the representatives of Sir Richard Nagle. It was valued at £21.10. Still extant and occupied.
Coolatore	This house was not built at the time of the first edition OS survey. It was constructed about 1866 and was the home of members of the Upton family. In 1906 it was valued at £56, occupied by Henry N S Upton who held it with over 400 acres of untenanted land. According to the discover Ireland website it now provides self-catering accommodation.
Grouse Lodge	Grouse Lodge is named on both the first 6 inch and 25 inch OS maps. Described as a three-bay two-storey over basement country house with attic level, built c.1810 (boi), now in use as a residential recording studio. Grouse Lodge was built by a branch of the Fetherstonhaugh Family of Ardagh, County Longford and was occupied by Theodore Fetherston in 1814 and by William Fetherstonhaugh at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. The building valued at £24 was held from Edward Fetherstonhaugh, who was the occupant in 1837. It is still a family home.
Ballinderry	Detached four-bay two-storey country house, built about 1870, replacing an earlier house built by Sarah Kelly. The stable block appears to be 18th century. The estate was bought in 1840 by solicitor Edmond Kelly of Rookwood House, Co Roscommon, who also owned Kiltoom House, Athlone. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) Sarah Kelly was the occupant of the house valued at £19. She held it in fee.
