The house is surrounded by mature parkland and is situated in the middle of a working farm. The house has evolved over time. The 18th century block, housing the west wing, comprised the original house. In 1834 Thomas Parsons of Nottingham erected the main part of the mansion. The walled garden, ha-ha and park were laid out in the 1850’s by Johnathan Hardcastle with some additions to the south in the 19th century erected by the Webbs, who were also the owners of nearby Newstead Abbey.
