The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the north shore of Malahide estuary. This two-storey building, rectangular in plan, incorporates a sequence of building phases some of which may date from the 17th century. A dwelling is marked on the Down Survey (1655-6) map at this location. The Civil survey (1654-6) mentions a 'slated house' at Corballis (Simington 1945, 50). There is an irregular pattern of windows in the building. According to the owner an ornamented window was discovered in the W end of the N wall during re-furbishments to the house but is plastered over. Stone mullions were also unearthed in the grounds (Moylan 1961, 23-24). In one of the out-offices running S of the house there is the remains of a stairwell.
