The property on Church Lane was owned by the Jervoise family from 1542; the present 17th-century house is surrounded by a moat.[1] The wide Georgian Gothic front was added in 1766, and the south (garden) range in c.1830–1840.[2] It is now divided into two houses.[1]
It is possible that the large square moat is an 18th-century remodelling of an earlier one.[1] Another addition in the 1760s was a pigeon house or dovecote in the garden, its ogee-headed windows matching those added to the house.[3]
