[7] In World War I, the house was occupied by the Lysaght family who added the current main entrance and a ballroom, which is now used as the dining room.

After having parted ways, the remaining owner, Jeannie Wilkins, unable to afford further restoration works and upkeep, placed the 17-bedroom house, with 7 acres (2.8 ha) of land, up for sale with a price of £1,695,000.

[2][12] Strategies were discussed and tested, with the house used as a location for ghost-hunting tours and special excursions were run by the West Somerset Railway to the building [13] to help raise funds to assist the current owner to continue restoration works and to reside in the manor.

In June 2015, the manor remained on the market with approximately £500,000 of renovation work needed, although some restoration has been undertaken by students from Somerset College of Arts and Technology.

[16] After owner Jean Wilkins died in September 2020, the house was purchased by the London-based interior designer Marten Street in January 2021.
