| Description |
A building is marked at the site of Creaghduff House on the first edition OS map but the present house appears to have been built after this date. Gearoid O’Brien refers to Charles Handcock building the house at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (https://www.westmeathindependent.ie/2023/02/03/street-wise-coosan/). Valued at £17 as recorded in Griffith’s Valuation the house was occupied by the Hon Charles Handcock and held from Lord Castlemaine. It is located at the south west corner of Coosan Lough. Donal O’Brien writes that from the end of the 19th century Creaghduff was the home of Robert Degennes Levinge, a grandson of Sir Richard Levinge 4th Bt, and his descendants, who still live there. |
