House name	Description
New Forest	New Forest is a five-bay three-storey over basement country house, built in the 1770s by the Evans family and acquired by Henry Daniel before the end of the century. In 1837 New Forest was the home of a H. Daniel described by Lewis as ‘one of the most complete and gentlemanly residences in the county of Westmeath’. In 1843 Henry was succeeded by his son Robert Daniel who Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) records was the occupant holding the house valued at £55 from Francis Evans. When the Evans estates in counties Mayo, Monaghan and Westmeath were for sale in the Landed Estates Court in November 1871, Newforest was described as forming 'one of the most complete and gentlemanly residences in the county of Westmeath'. (LEC rental 14 November 1871). O’Brien writes that the Daniels bequeathed the estate to the Catholic Church in the 20th century. It was sold in 1948 to Lt-General Sir Charles Gairdner, who was later appointed Governor of Western Australia (1951–1963) and then Governor of Tasmania (1963-68). Its extensive mature landscaped grounds are now in use as a golf course and the house is a hotel see https://newforest.ie/

Guilford House	This land was originally the property of the North family who were connected to the Earls of Guilford.

Newcastle	A five-bay two-storey castellated country house, built or rebuilt in the mid-19th century by the Coffey family who bought the property from the Norths in the 1780s. It is now derelict. The National Built Heritage Service states that the remains of an earlier house built by the North family, c.1740, and a tower house built c.1640 can be seen to the rear (west). The Taylor and Skinner maps record Newcastle as the property of the Norths. In 1814 and 1837 Newcastle was the home of Christopher Coffey. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) Richard Coffey was resident, when the house valued at £30 was held from Charles B Marley.
