Late 18th century Georgian style house of 3 storeys, 5 bays with wings. Listed Grade II. Built around 1770 by the Rector of Teversal on the site of the former Cock Inn. The house was enlarged in the early 19th century before being sold to John Miller, a local farmer and maltster. His nephew then converted the house into a young ladies boarding school, a role which continued until the opening of the Girls Grammar School in Mansfield. The house was then occupied by various descendants until around 1974. The new owners from 1976 created a garden centre in the grounds, and eventually converted the house to a bed and breakfast style hotel.
