Overall the accommodation at Kilmaloda House presents A comfortable family home with some fine reception rooms for entertaining, yet extremely manageable and comfortable for everyday living. Retaining many of its original features the house has great character and while in need of some upgrading. The house is structurally sound. A large stable yard and dovecote can be found to the west of the house. The oldest dwelling place we can date in the demesne is a fortified mill, whose WALLS REMAIN, which was believed to have been built on land granted to a settler in the first half of the 17th Century. The spring which fed the millstream still rises at the back of the house. About 1799, the Beamish family, master brewers of Cork City, decided to build a country house. Kilmaloda House replaces an earlier house which stood in the same position. The Beamishes settled into life as country gentry, maintaining a pack of hounds behind the extensive stables. Edith Somerville (of Irish RM fame) describes going by train, in her diaries, from Castletownshend to 'hunt with Dick Beamish's hounds at Kilmaloda. The Census of 1911 shows Sampson Beamish living at Kilmaloda with his wife, 4 family members and 6 indoor servants and an old farmer who was a stable boy in 1916 recalls there were another 10 outdoor servants.
