The house is pleasantly situated just to the north of the high road from Shanklin and as of 1912 retained a room with a stone fireplace and a heavy panelled Tudor ceiling.

Thomas Rice appears to have been the lessee about the middle of the 16th century, holding under a ninety years' lease from the monks dated 1535.

The manor after the expiration of Rice's lease was granted in 1595–6 for forty years to Elizeus Wynne.

The Ramseys sold the manor in the same year to Richard Baskett, and he died in 1626, leaving a son and heir Richard, who sold it in 1640 to John Warner, Bishop of Rochester.

It passed from him with Appuldurcombe to Lord Yarborough, who sold it in 1854 to George Young.
