A friend of mine used to live here back in the 1950s when it was a family home. He moved away and the place was sold. Some years later the place fell vacant and became derelict; the orchard surrounding it was sold off and became Brookside. The house was taken over by the council, made into flats and an extension built. Now the place is going downhill again and plans are afoot for the place to be demolished and three dwellings built. A sad end for a once great house.
