History

The house was built around 1700 on the site of an earlier monastic grange and barn.[1][2] Various renovations and expansions of the house took place in the first half of the 19th century.[3]

In the 1940s and 1950s the house was enlarged by George Phillips Manners and John Elkington Gill,[1] and the house was converted into three flats.[4]

In 2017 an application was made to alter the access roads to the house.[5]

Architecture

The three-bay stone building has a slate roof with a balustraded parapet. The attached conservatory has an arcade of six Tuscan columns.[1]

The grounds feature specimen trees and a walled kitchen garden.[6]
