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.

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.
