The house, now a Grade II Listed Building, was built in 1866 for the Coode family who owned the land round about, in the Tamar Valley to the north of Werrington. The original structure (right side, in the picture) dates from 1866 and the remainder (left side) from 1903. It is said that Mr R C Coode commissioned the extension for his daughter's twenty-first birthday; its principal room is an oak-panelled ballroom with ornately carved chimney-pieces. This picture was taken from the lawns of the garden below the terrace.
