House name	Description
Ladywell	Although much of the demesne of Harmony Hall is shown in the townland of Bunown on the first edition OS map, the house Ladywell was not built at this time. An elegant Italianate country house, six-bay two-storey over (partial) basement country house on L-shaped plan, built about 1845 to a design by Sandham Symes (1808-1894), for the Mahon Family (boi). In the mid-19th century Ross Mahon was the occupant holding the building valued at £37 in fee. Members of the Metge, Crofton, Williams and Flannery have all been occupants of this house. It has extensive views over Killinure Lough to the south.
Lough Ree Lodge	This lodge located on the eastern shore of Lough Ree, named on the first edition OS map, is a four-bay two-storey house, built c.1815, by a branch of the Handcock-Temple family of Waterstown House. It was the home of a Gustavus H. Temple, in 1837 and at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £21. Later the home of the Daniels and Fagan families and still occupied.
Portlick Castle	Portlick Three-bay four-storey late medieval tower house, built c.1500 by the Dillon family, with later seven-bay two-storey extension added to the southwest, c.1800, and a two-bay two-storey castellated block added to the southwest corner of this extension, c.1865 (boi). In 1696 granted to Thomas Keightly, a member of King William's privy council in Ireland who sold it to William Palmer of Dublin. About 1703 bought by the Smyth Family, who remained in ownership of Portlick Castle into the twentieth century. Valued at £26 and held by Robert Smyth in fee at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. A fire in 1861 damaged much of the building. Sold by a descendant of the Smyth family in 1955, the castle has been restored in recent times and has been used as a wedding venue. The Westmeath Independent reported the castle’s purchase by a family from California in January 2021.
Auburn	Auburn - Detached five-bay two-storey over raised basement house, built or rebuilt in the early 19th century (boi) This house takes its name from the Goldsmith Poem ‘The Deserted Village’, which was apparently inspired by the countryside surrounding this property where Goldsmith grew up as a boy. Auburn House was reputedly remodeled in the early nineteenth-century by John Hogan, whose father, a solicitor, acquired the property and estate from the Naper Family (of Loughcrew, Oldcastle, Co. Meath) in settlement of legal costs. J Hogan was the occupant in 1837. It was later sold to William Henry Daniel c.1848 and later to G.A.G. Adamson in 1864. In 1906 the buildings were valued at £34 and Charles G Adamson was the occupier. The Adamson family continued to reside at Auburn until about 1980. The house is now a ruin.
Harmony Hall	O’Brien writes that Harmony hall was built in 1788 by Colonel William Caulfield, a member of a branch of the Caulfield family, Earls of Charlemont. In 1842, Colonel John Caulfield sold the house to Arthur Dunn Chaigneau and purchased Bloomfield House, Mullingar. Griffith’s Valuation records Chaigneau as the occupant and that the house was valued at £50. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage states that the house was built by the Handcock Temple family. Occupied by Edward Molony Gleeson of the Athlone Woollen Mills in the 1880s. Occupied by the Fox, Wilson and Fitzsimons families in the 20th century.
Lackan Lodge	O’Brien writes of Walter Dillon living at Lackan in 1796. Lackan Lodge, valued at £14, was occupied by William Thomson in the mid-19th century. He held the property from the Dillons minors. A new building has been erected on this site.
Park Place	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, Ambrose Bole was leasing Park Place from the Jessop estate, when it was valued at over £27. The National Built Heritage Service dates the remaining walled garden evidence to the late 18th century and suggests that Park Place was the residence of the Moffat family. The Ordnance Survey Name Books of the 1830s note that the demesne was “cultivated by Mr. Robinson, the County Treasurer”. This is likely to be John Robinson, who, according to the Valuation Office Books, was the occupier in 1839, when the house was valued at £16. Family history sources suggest Ambrose Bole was a land agent, who managed the estates of the King-Harman and Shuldham families during the second half of the 19th century. Park Place was demolished in the 20th century but some estate architecture remains.
Glenmore (Moydow)	Noble Armstrong was leasing this property from the King Harman estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at almost £12. Both Lewis in 1837 and Leet in 1814 referred to it as the seat of Newcomen Armstrong. It is extant but disused.
Mosstown (Ballymahon)	At the time of Griffiths Valuation, in the 1850s, this property was leased by Arthur Kingston from the King-Harman estate. The property was valued at £30 with a mill valued at £50. Lewis referred to Mosstown as the seat of Arthur Kingston in 1837. Mosstown has been demolished but the ruins of the mill and some estate architecture remains.
Cormaglava House	William Lewis was leasing this property from William Montfort [Bond] at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s when it was valued at £12. The Ordnance Survey Name Books note that the townland was the property of Lady Rosse in the 1830s. A house is still extant at this site.
Newtown Parochial House	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, this house was occupied by Reverend Nicholas O’Flanagan, leasing from Colonel Henry White. The property was valued at £10. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the house was built at the same time as the adjacent church in 1833, described in the Ordnance Survey Name Books as 'a splendid new chapel'. It is still extant and occupied.
Knappoge House	Robert Wallace was listing this property from Colonel Henry White’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at over £10. A house is extant at the site but may not be original.
Ledwithstown House	In 1837 Lewis referred to Ledwithstown House as the seat of W. Ledwith. Leet's Directory referred to it as the residence of Richard Dillon in 1814. By the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, it was held in fee by Edward Ledwith and valued at £15. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was built c.1745 and was possibly designed by Richard Castle. It is still extant. In the 20th century it had become derelict but has been refurbished
Lislea House (Ballymahon)	Lislea House was leased by Elizabeth Bickerstaff from the Smyth estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £12. In 1837 Lewis noted it as the seat of J.C. Bickerstaff. It is still extant. Datestones on the estate buildings suggest two phases of development at the site, in the 1820s and the 1860s. Elizabeth Bickerstaff was the owner of over 350 acres in County Longford in the 1870s
Ballyorney House	Ballyorney House is labelled on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the early 20th century. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, the house at this site was leased by John Boswell from Thomas Dennehy’s estate and was valued at £4. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the house at the site now was built in the 1880s. It is extant but derelict.
Ballymulvey House	John Shuldham was the owner of an extensive milling complex, valued at £35, at Ballymulvey at the time of Grffiths Valuation in the early 1850s. In 1837 Lewis had also referred to Ballymulvey as a seat of the Shuldham family. The property is labelled Ballymulvey House on the 1st edition OS map but “in ruins” on the 25” edition of the early 20th century when the woollen factory is located nearby. Some ruins of this complex remain at the site.
Antely Cottage	A property labelled Antely Cottage is visible on the 25-inch OS map of the early 20th century. At the time of Griffiths Valuation, in the early 1850s, Robert de Ricci, MD, was leasing lands in this area from the Shuldham estate. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that Antely Cottage evolved from an earlier, possibly 1760s structure on the site. It is still extant and occupied.
Moygh House	John Shuldham held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at £35. In 1837 Lewis referred to Moigh as the seat of M. Shuldham. It is labelled Moygh House on all OS editions. It is still extant.
Clynan House	Bevan Slator was occupying Clynan at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £24. It was leased from William C. Rochfort. In 1840 the original valuation had recorded it as the seat of Bernard Slator with the same valuation. The National Built Heritage Service associates the property with the Coates and Slator families. It is now ruinous.
Creevaghmore (Ballymahon)	Edwin Moore Sandys was leasing Creevaghmore House to William Hogan at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £20. In 1837 Lewis referred to “Creevagh” as the seat of R. Sandys. Leet refers to 'Creevagh' as the seat of John Fetherston in 1814. Creevaghmore is still extant. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was built in the mid 18th century.
Lisglassock House	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Grace Robinson held this property in fee when it was valued at almost £25. In 1837 Lewis referred to it as the seat of J.R. Robinson. The National Built Heritage Service suggests this house was built c.1810 and that it was associated with the Robinson family throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1906 it owned by John Robinson. It is still extant. In recent years it has been sympathetically renovated and offers guest accommodation.
Corrabola House	Hugh Morrow was leasing this property from the Jessop estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £28. Lyons records the sale of the house and estate in the Landed Estates Court in 1861. The schedule notes that it had been built by Morrow about 20 years previously and provides a good description of the house and demesne. The interest was purchased by the Jessop estate. The sale notice includes a lithograph of the house. A painting of this house, attributed to Arthur Morrow, is held in a New Zealand collection, where members of the Morrow family emigrated to in the 1860s. This house later features as the address of Thomas Alder Cusack, a Dublin solicitor who managed the Jessop estate.
Doory Hall	Doory Hall was the residence of F.T. Jessop at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £50. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the current ruined property dates from the 1820s but that it replaced an earlier dwelling at the site. In 1906 it was owned by Louisa Jessop and still valued at £50. The remains of a large number of ancillary estate buildings area also visible at the site.
Torboy House	Phillip McCutcheon was leasing Torboy from Colonel Palliser’s estate from at least the early 1840s, as shown in the Valuation Office House books. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s the house was valued at over £12. The Landed Estates Court sale notice of 1862 indicates Philip McCutcheon had renewed his lease on this property in 1848. Torboy House is still extant and occupied.
Laurel Lodge (Ballymahon)	At the time of Griffith’s Valuation in the 1850s, the property at this site was described as a herd’s house with a value of £4. It was occupied by Edward Phillips, leasing from the King Harman estate. A larger house was later erected on the site and is still extant.
Laurel Lodge (Shrule)	Thomas Hussey was occupying this property at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at just over £10. In 1838 the original Valuation Office books noted the occupant as Edward Nugent. The Ordnance Survey name books of the mid 1830s state that the townland was part of the Ledwith estate. The house is not named on the 1st edition OS map but is labelled Laurel Lodge on the 25” map of the early 20th century. It is now a ruin.
Clooncallow House	Clooncallow House was occupied by Thomas Bredin at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s when it was valued at £12. He was also noted by the valuers as the occupier in 1840, though his name was spelt 'Braydon' at the time. Thomas Bradon is also recorded as a landholder in Clooncallow in the Tithe Applotment records in 1829. It is still extant and occupied.
Forgney House	Thomas Lennon was occupying Forgney House at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £12 and leased from the King Harman estate. It is possible that this is the same property which the valuers recorded as occupied by William Atkinson in 1840 and then valued at over £13. The house is not visible on the 25” map of the early twentieth century and the area is now covered by forestry. Elsewhere in the same townland, a house is labelled Forgney Old House (N205545) on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but does not appear on later maps.
Newcastle House (Ballymahon)	The extensive property at Newcastle was originally the seat of the Harman family, which came into the King family through marriage. In 1837 Lewis referred to it as the seat of the Dowager Countess of Ross. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s it was the seat of Laurence King-Harman and was valued at £90. In 1906 it was owned by Col. W.H. King-Harman. It remained in the family until the twentieth century when it was sold to an order of religious sisters. In the later 20th century and again more recently it has functioned as a hotel. A Center Parcs resort is now located in an area of the former demesne.
Cartron House (Ballymahon)	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, Thomas Wright was leasing this property from the King Harman estate when it was valued at £10. In 1837 it was noted by Lewis as the seat of J. Wright. It is still extant.
Rathmore House (Ballymahon)	Robert C. Barbar was occupying this property, then valued at over £12, at the time of Griffiths Valuation. Lewis had also noted it as his seat in 1837. It was leased from the King Harman estate. This property was labelled Rathmore House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but a later house (Grid Reference N150546) carries this label on the 25-inch edition of the early twentieth century. The latter is still extant.
Castlecore/Castlecor House (Ballymahon)	The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the original building at Castlecore was built as a hunting lodge in the mid 18th century by a member of the Harman family from Newcastle House. It underwent several changes and additions during the 19th century. Between the 1830s and the 1850s it was in the hands of Thomas Hussey and at the time of Griffiths Valuation, it was valued at £10. Hussey advertised it for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court in 1855, when it was described as 'of a peculiarly convenient construction, built about 50 years at a cost of £4000'. The 'Freeman's Journal' reported that it was sold for over £6000. By the 1870s it was the seat of John Bond. In 1906 Castlecore was owned by Emily C. Clarke and valued at £44 10s. It is named as Castlecor House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but as Castlecore House on the later 25-inch edition. It is still extant.
Gortmore [Longfield] House (Ballymahon)	Arthur H. Griffith was leasing this property from the King-Harman estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at almost £41. The house shown on the 1st edition Ordnance survey map is labelled Longfield House. The expanded range of buildings at the site, shown on the 25-inch map of the early 20th century, is labelled Gortmore House. O'Brien writes that Arthur Hill Griffith built this house c.1840 but that the Griffith family moved to Australia in 1871. He also notes that the previous house, known as Longfield, had been occupied by members of the Langstaff family. In 1837 Lewis referred to Longfield as the seat of J. Langstaff. Gortmore is no longer extant.
Ardnagragh	Alicia Nugent was leasing this property, which included a mill, from the Digby estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £23. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage indicates that the house is still in use though the mill has been demolished.
Drumraney	This property is described as “in chancery” at the time of Griffiths Valuation, though it was being leased by John Carney from the estate of Alicia O’Connor Malone. It was valued at £14. It is labelled as Drumraney House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1838 but as “Constabulary barracks” on later edition maps. It is not extant now.
Newgrove [Badgersbridge House] (Ballymahon)	This property was held in fee by Dillon Kelly at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at over £10. It is labelled Newgrove or Badgersbridge House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but does not appear on subsequent maps. The Valuation Office books show that the house had been valued at £15 in 1840.
Dorrington House	At the time of Griffiths Valuation St. George Gray held this property in fee when it was valued at £32. It is labelled Dorrington House on all editions of the Ordnance Survey maps. In 1906 it was the property of Wellington Gray and valued at £44. O'Brien writes that the house was demolished during the twentieth century and a newer house constructed at the site but extensive estate architecture survives.
Walderstown Lodge	William Potts was leasing this property from the Gray estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £12. O'Brien writes that it was possibly built by the Dorrington Hackett family of nearby Dorrington House. It was acquired by the Gray family by inheritance and became a dower house. It is still extant.
Littletown House [Lodge]	William Magill was leasing this property from Joseph Manly at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at almost £14. On the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map it appears to be located within the townland of Doonis but on the 25-inch edition of the early 20th century it seems to be within the townland of Cartroncroy. The house is labelled Littletown Lodge on the 1st edition map but as Littletown House on the 25-inch edition. It survived into the twentieth century but is no longer extant. In 1837 Lewis referred to Littleton Lodge as the seat of W. Lennox Napier. Another Littletown House is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map in the adjacent townland of Littletown [N096519] but this is described as 'in ruins' on the later map. William Magill of Littleton, Ballymahon was recorded as the owner of over 350 acres in County Longford in the 1870s.
Kilcornan Lodge (Ballymahon)	Thomas Murray was leasing this property from Charles Edward Grogan at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at almost £14. In 1814 Leet referred to Kilcornan as the residence of Patrick McDermott. O'Brien details the various occupiers from 1785, the year from which he asserts the house dates. It is still extant.
Annaville House	Francis Longworth was leasing this property from William Dawson at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at almost £14 and included a mill. On the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the early 20th century it is labelled Annaville House. A house is still extant at the site.
Noughaval House (Ballymahon)	William Dawson was leasing this property from the King-Harman estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £13. Lewis also referred to it as his seat in 1837. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built in 1760. O'Brien notes that there is a family tradition that the roof had to be replaced in the nineteenth century having been damaged during ''the Night of the Big Wind'' in 1839. Noughaval is still extant and occupied.
Lissaquill House	In 1837 Lewis referred to Lissaquill House as the seat of Harding Fetherstone. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in 1854 this property was occupied by John Hogan, leasing from O'Brien Dillons, when it was valued at £9. The Valuation Office Books of 1841 noted the house here as having a valuation of £10 and occupied by Harding Fetherstone. A house and farm are still extant at this location.
