MARYVILLE HOUSE
Built by Laurence Corban in the early 19th Century, the delightful Maryville House is a Georgian house built in a classic villa style, the main block of two storeys and four bays with deep eaves and with a lower three bay projection to the rear. Believed to have replaced an older structure on the site, the house was for many years the dower house to nearby Ballinacarriga Estate. Laurence Corban was the founder of the Maryville Mill (demolished in 1995), one of the larger in the district, located to the south west. In Lewis’s 1837 survey the house is recorded as “a handsome mansion of recent erection and finely situated on the Funcheon River”. The house passed from the family circa 1965.

Maryville House is set on rising ground, discreetly situated behind high walls, and commanding a fine position overlooking the wooded valley with a bright sunny south-westerly aspect. Set in well landscaped grounds, the house is approached via entrance piers with iron gates and rails and a sweeping drive running alongside the front paddocks.

The spacious and well-proportioned house, in need of renovation, retains many of its original features and much of its fabric with large sash windows with shutters, pitch pine floors and marble fireplaces. There is fine plasterwork cornicing and ceiling roses to the principle reception rooms, which have high ceilings, and to the exceptional double-height staircase hall, with cantilevered stairs top lit by a glazed dome. The impressive accommodation extends to some 445 sq metres (4800 sq ft.) including three reception rooms, five bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Maryville House extends to circa 3.70 hectares (9.14 acres) with a wonderful walled garden situated to the rear together with traditional cobble stone stable yard set adjacent to the house. The property represents a delightful package, enjoying a favourable edge of village setting yet with much privacy and security provided by the many mature trees and walled boundaries.
