The house suffered considerable damage during the Civil War and was later rebuilt in 1777. The house is moated with access over small bridges: the white iron gates to the main bridge were designed by Sir John Soane.
Recent historyedit
The estate was sold by the Brocas family in 1873. In 1941, the building was largely destroyed by fire. The Tudor servants wing, however, survived.[2] The owner at the time of the fire, Sir Strati Ralli, was unable to restore or repair the house due to wartime restriction of building materials.
In the early 21st century, the estate was put up for sale. The estate was broken into lots, aiming to attract offers of £3.4 million for the house and immediate grounds, or offers exceeding £7 million for the full estate of 753 acres (305 ha).[1]
