Much of the present house was built around 1560 and an oak beam in the drawing room has the date 1566 scratched into it, suggesting either a build date or major reconstruction at this time. Operated as a bed and breakfast guesthouse for several years between 1934-1985. During the war, used as convalescence accommodation to airmen suffering from burns.
