Situated on the north side of the village, it was built in 1872 for Major George Coke Robertson to the designs of Henry Clutton.

This neo-Gothic manor house was constructed of Bath and Clipsham stone.

It has an Italianate, gargoyle adorned clock-tower without a clock; the space for the clock was left blank out of respect for Robertson's recently deceased wife.

For several decades at the end of the twentieth century, it was the headquarters of The Automobile Association Patrol Service Training School, popularly known as 'The AA Academy'.

British Pathé recorded some of the activities there in 'The AA Story', in 1967.
