There are various earthworks reflecting landscaping and tennis courts to the south of the bungalow. The present owners believe an early manor house to have been sited to the east of the bungalow where there is an almost square depression (24.5m x 24.8m) see sketch.

The seat of the Addington family. The old manor house was rebuilt by William Addington, 2nd Viscount Sidmouth in 1846. William's father was Prime Minister Hentry Addington. It was sold by the 6th Viscount in 1953. Plans to turn it into a hotel came to naught and the house was demolished in 1962. Only the lodge and stables remain.
