During the periods of the Earl of Ormond's exile and confiscation of lands, the Hamilton baronets resided at the house and estate.

His own son predeceased him and Henry was succeeded by his grandson Sir Robert Echlin, 2nd Baronet (1699–1757).

Sir Robert's daughter Elizabeth who married Francis Palmer then took the opportunity to buy the property.

In the front is a small pediment supported by four Tuscan pillars, which evidently appears to be a modern addition.

The house had been used for some years by a film production company, which made films there including Ten Little Indians, Jules Verne's Rocket to the Moon (in which the house appears as "the stately home of The Duke of Barset"[10]), and The Face of Fu Manchu.
