House name	Description
Annagh	Annagh was a Dillon home as probably were Glenmore and Lakeview houses also in this townland. There is a building still at the Glenmore site but the other two houses are gone. O’Brien writes that an early 19th century house was built in front of an earlier house and that Dillons lived here from at least the mid-18th century. In 1814 and 1837 Christopher R Dillon was resident and Mary Ann Dillon in the mid-19th century when the house was valued at £10 and held from Lord Ashtown of Woodlawn, County Galway. In the latter part of the 20th century the house was abandoned and is now derelict.
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.
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.
Waterstown House	This Palladian style country house on rectangular plan, constructed c.1745 was designed by the German architect Richard Castle (1695-1751) for Gustavus Handcock and his wife Elizabeth Temple. It has important historical connections with the Temple-Handcock family, who were originally granted the lands around Waterstown as payment for services to the Crown during the Cromwellian Wars (boi). Robert Handcock Temple was resident in 1814 and 1837. Valued at £47 in the mid-19th century it was occupied by Robert Holmes. The buildings had increased in value to £61.15 in 1906. It remained within the Temple-Handcock family until mid-1923 when they sold the estate to the Land Commission. In 1928 the pedimented doorcase at Waterstown was removed and re-erected at Lissglassick House (Longford) and the house became a ruin in the 1930s.
Belville	O’Brien writes that Belville was built about 1775 for Richard Cuppaidge and by the early 1780s was occupied by the Jones family. It remained the Jones family home until at least the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when Gustavus Jones Junior was resident. The house was valued at £23. It is now a ruin.
Coolvuck House	O’Brien writes that this early 19th century house was probably built by Francis Dillon, who was recorded as the occupant in 1814. Valued at £13 at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), it was occupied by Eneas McDonnell who held the property from James George Murphy. Occupied by Thomas Groarke, a farmer and his sister in 1901 and by Thomas Killoughy, a shepherd who held it from Thomas Groarke in 1911.
Twyford	Twyford House was originally built about 1760 by the Handcock Family of Waterstown House, Glassan, but passed into the ownership of the Hodson Family, at the end of the 18th century. In 1814 John Hodson was resident and E Hodson in 1837. Valued at £24 John Hodson was the occupant at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), holding the property from John Longsworth. The Hodsons continued to reside at Twyford until it was sold about 1960. The house is now derelict.
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.
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.
Lissanode House	O'Brien writes that this house was occupied by the Russell family, probably from the early part of the eighteenth century. At the time of Griffiths Valuation, in 1854, it was occupied by Frederick W. Russell, leasing from the Boyd estate, when it had a valuation of £7. It was replaced by a more substantial house in the late nineteenth century following a fire. It is still extant.
