Cornaher	Cornaher House, named on the first edition OS map, is a two-storey seven-bay country house, built in the early 19th century by the Rev John Vignoles, of Hugenot decent. He married a member of the Lowe family who previously owned the property. It was the home of the Rev. Charles Vignoles in 1814 and 1837, who was rector of the nearby Newtown Church of Ireland church. His sons Thomas and Samuel were in residence at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when the house was valued at £32. The Rev Charles Vignoles died at Cornaher in 1877. It was occupied by William George Lowe and family in 1901 and by the Davis family in 1911. Since then it has had a number of owners, been in use as an organic farm and Bed and Breakfast and was for sale in 2022.

David North who married Catherine Pim was resident in 1837 and at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), when the house was valued at £15 and held from Catherine Reynolds. The house was occupied by the Gavin family in the early 20th century.
West House	West House is a five-bay two-storey over a basement country, built about 1760, having projecting single-bay wings.

At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) it was valued at £9.10, occupied by Patrick Gavin and held from Catherine Reynolds.
Guilford House	This land was originally the property of the North family who were connected to the Earls of Guilford.

Occupied by Christopher Coffie/Coffey junior in 1814 and by F. Usher in 1837. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) Christopher Swift held the house valued at £12 from Francis Usher.

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 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.
