A striking house with an obscure building history. It is early C18th, c1720 perhaps, and has a very ornate centrepiece. It was built for Henry Vernon, and his architect may have been Richard Trubshaw. It's unclear whether the attic storey is original, or an unusually sympathetic C19th addition. Grade I listed. It is now an "office and business centre".
