The house dates from 1565. It has seen many alterations and additions since it was first built. The layout inside is confusing for visitors with a multitude of corridors and 17 flights of stairs, there are nearly always two routes from one room to another. Every hundred years or so the owners made major changes and additions, the result is effectively four houses fused together with a tower added as a folly.

The house will be available for guided tours on Mondays and Thursdays in 2026. Booking via our contacts page is encouraged
