The court was expanded and substantially rebuilt by the Victorian architect William Burges and is a Grade II* listed building.

The listing includes the attached forecourt walls, balustrading, terrace, piers, urns and stone-carved ball finial.

In the nineteenth century, the court was bought by Lachlan Mackintosh Rate, a wealthy lawyer, banker and philanthropist.

[2] Working in an ornate Jacobean style, Burges added twenty rooms, with elaborate fireplaces and ceilings.

Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as "a picturesque seven-bay house with shaped gables".
