A relatively early example of neo-Tudor, the house was built in 1835, on the site of an earlier building, by George H. Smith for the Rev. Richard Stephens, sub-dean of Exeter. Alfred Waterhouse designed additions and alterations for Edward Byrom in the 1870’s. Waterhouse also designed the stables and coach house. The balustrading in front of the house forming part of the terrace steps were taken from the Exe bridge of 1776. White (1850) noted that the ‘handsome seat….is delightfully situated….. and the high ground behind it has been very tastefully planted.
