Late 18th century house built by the eccentric 7th Earl of Montrath who lived there as a recluse surrounded by high walls. It was bought by Hyderabad merchant Albert Abid who remodelled it into a luxurious mansion. The mansion was sold by Abid's son in 1929 and the fittings were auctioned before demolition. A smaller house has now replaced the mansion.
