By due descent the property passed to Bacon's great grandson, the Reverend Henry Wastell, in 1811.

Wastell built a new house adjacent to the old tower, to a design by architect John Dobson in 1812.

They commissioned architect Francis William Deas (1862–1951) to modernise the house in 1902.

(The power house, now a separate dwelling, is Grade II listed).

Coulson's daughter married Walter Benson, High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1917.
