It is a three-bay two-storey over basement country house with six-bay single-storey over basement wings to either side (boi). It was originally built in 1740, the date is inscribed on a window opening but was substantially altered at a later date which may be why Lewis records it in 1837 as a ‘spacious and handsome castellated mansion of modern erection’. This house was the home of the Nagle family and the property was originally in the ownership of the McGeoghegan family who were direct ancestors of the Nagles. From the late 18th century Jamestown Court was the home of Sir Richard Nagle, Baronet. He also had connections with Donore Castle, near Horseleap, which he ‘restored’ in 1809. Jamestown Court was later the seat of Sir Richard Neagle (Nagle) Geoghegan 2nd Bt in 1846 (Slater’s Directory). Following his death in 1850 it was inherited by his sister Frances Mary who was married to John Grace of Mantua House, Co Roscommon. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) the house was valued at £13, occupied by John Lynam who held the property from John Ennis with 156 acres. The rest of the townland was held by John Grace. In 1901 and 1911 occupied by Lt Colonel Gilbert Lavillan Nugent and family. For sale in 2012 and bought in 2013.
