A Grade-I listed manor house in 6 acres of landscaped gardens. Within the grounds is a listed 17th century timber-framed barn. The house was built in 1620 by Sir John Sulyard, on land originally granted to the Sulyards by Mary Tudor, the sister of Henry VIII.

In 1818 a prominent lawyer named William Crawford purchased the estate. Just two years later the manor was gutted by a major fire, and the house was rebuilt in Georgian style. From 1924 until 1956 the owner was Turner Henderson, a tea planter.

On his death Turner left the estate to London Zoo, who promptly turned down the bequest as unsuitable. The manor was again badly damaged by fire in 1961, and rebuilt by the Williams family, who still own it today.
