House name	Description
Newtown House (Fore)	This house was enlarged after the publication of the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map in the 1830s. Elizabeth Ferrally was leasing the property from the Pakenham estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £9. The Valuation Office books of 1838 also noted her as the owner when the house had a valuation of almost £6. A house is still extant at the site.
Tullynally Castle	The National Built Heritage Service suggests the bulk of Tullynally Castle was built c.1730 but may incorporate the fabric of a house built for Henry Pakenham in the mid-C17. It had a number of phases of construction throughout its long history. Formerly known as Pakenham Hall, it has been the seat of the Pakenham family for over 350 years. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the mid-1850s it was valued at £200 and had the same valuation in 1906. It is still extant and occupied by the Pakenham family.
Tromra House	Tromra was being leased by Wiilliam Riggs from the Pakenham estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £13. The Valuation Office Books of 1839 indicate Mrs. Mary Anne Riggs was occupying a property valued at £10 at that time. Tromra is still extant and occupied.
Donore House	Donore overlooking Lough Derravaragh, named on the first edition OS map. The Nugents were settled here from the 16th century. Donore House was a three-storey late 18th century Georgian block. James Nugent of Donore was created a baronet in 1768. When his brother Peter the second baronet died in 1797, Donore passed to the family of their sister Catherine who had married Pierce Fitzgerald of Baltinoran. They had two sons Thomas who inherited Donore and Lattin who inherited Soho House. In 1831 Thomas’ son Percy Fitzgerald Nugent was created a baronet and was MP for Westmeath 1847-1852. He was resident at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when the house was valued at £80. The Nugents were still resident in the early 20th century. O’Brien writes that the house was given to the Franciscan Community of Multyfarnham from whom it was purchased by the Land Commission. The house fell into disrepair and was demolished in the 1960s.
Kinturk House	Kinturk House, located just south of Castlepollard, is a five-bay three-storey over basement country house, built about 1760, remodelled and extended in 1821 for William Dutton Pollard (1789-1839) by Charles Robert Cockerell (1788-1863). It was valued at £90 in 1906. The house remained in the possession of the Pollard/Pollard Urquhart family until the mid-1930s when it was sold to the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary who, in turn, sold it on to the Midland Health Board in 1971.
Gaulstown House (Fore)	The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests this house was built about 1730. At the time of Griffiths Valuation it was occupied by Andrew Mulligan, leasing from Hubert de Burgh’s estate, when it was valued at £21. It had previously been the seat of the Lill family who had succeeded to de Burgh property and adopted that surname. The house is labelled Gaulstown on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map. It is still extant.
Derrya	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s William Pollard Urquhart was leasing a herd’s house at this location from the estate of Richard Pakenham, when it was valued at almost £11. The Valuation Office books of 1839 noted the owner as Captain William Pakenham and the valuation was £12. The Untenanted Demesnes survey of 1906 indicates it belonged to Hugh P. Wilson and was valued at over £10. The building is still extant but derelict.
Turbotstown [Turbotstown House]	The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests that the present house at Turbotstown was built in the early decades of the nineteenth century, on the site of an earlier house. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s it was held in fee by Gerald Dease when the buildings were valued at £80. In 1906 it was still the property of Major Gerald Dease and valued at £84. It was occupied by the Dease family until the 20th century and is still extant. O'Brien provides a detailed account of this house and its occupants. On the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map it is labelled Turbotstown House but on the 25-inch edition of the early 20th century it is labelled Turbotston.
Lakeview House (Fore)	John Smith was leasing this property from Reverend Thomas Smith at the time of Griffiths Valuation when it was valued at £15. The Valuation Office books of 1838 state that the house then held by Reverend Thomas Smith was valued at £16. It is still extant and in use.
Mayne Glebe [Mayne Rectory]	Mayne Rectory was leased by Reverend William Eames from the estate of Reverend Thomas Smith at the time of Griffiths Valuation when it was valued at £8. In 1839, the Valuation Office books recorded that it was occupied by Reverend Richard Handy and had a valuation of almost £9. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built c.1812. It is still extant and in use.
