The building was constructed in the early 17th century, as Wyndham Hall. In the early 20th century, it was extended to the right, and the interior was largely remodelled.[1] The house was grade II* listed in 1952.[2] In the early 21st century, it operated as a wedding venue. It was put up for sale in 2022, with a guide price of £2.25 million. At the time, it included four reception rooms, nine bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a kitchen. There was also a guest cottage, stables and other assorted outbuildings, a tennis court, and a total of 17.5 acres (7.1 ha) of grounds.[3]
The house is built of sandstone, with quoins, and pantile roofs with stone coping. There are two storeys and the original range has three bays. In the middle bay is a two-storey gabled porch containing a semicircular arch with pilasters and a keystone, and in the gable is a round plaque. The windows are mullioned, those in the ground floor with pediments. The later extension to the right is in a similar style. Inside, there is much original panelling, and also panelling brought from Howley Hall in the early 20th century.[2][4] The focal point is the 37 feet (11 m)-long drawing room.[3]
