The present building dates from the early to mid 19th century.

The first recorded owner was Henry Wells Allfrey (1817–1887) who purchased the house in 1840 and on his death it passed onto his son, Henry Allfrey (1850–1938).

[1] On the death of Henry the property was sold and during the Second World War was used by the Iron and Steel Control organisation (part of the Ministry of Supply).

The overall view from the front of the original building is therefore of a symmetrical design although an additional range was added on one side by YHA.
