“The property was originally a farm. With the addition of stabling, an indoor school and arena, it is now a horse-training establishment with particular emphasis on dressage.”
Nash Millennium Chronicle, 1999
The Victoria County History tells us that this was built in the 17th century on a ‘T” shaped plan, the central wing projecting towards the west. The east front is of late 17th century brick with a moulded string course between the storeys; there is much original timbering and two fine old chimney stacks remain. One room has a large open fireplace with a cambered lintel and in the ceiling are exposed joists and a large beam.
