A builder told E. Rose (NLA) that he believed an older building had been incorporated in the house 'by the present entrance' due to (what he considered) older work visible there.

September 2005.
Detailed examination revealed no evidence of pre-1745 work. House is basically of this date, originally with side pavilions now engulfed within the 19th century wings. Stable block is also basically 1745, but remodelled later as an early mock-medieval folly. Important parkland with walled gardens, grotto in hillside, cottages, fountain etc. Icehouse demolished. The sundial mentioned was stolen.
