Grade I listed mansion built in 1828 by architect Henry Bassett. It was a private house until the Second World War, when it was requisitioned by the army. After the war it housed a girls boarding scheme, St Michael's, until the 1980s, before becoming a police dog training centre. In 1997 it was converted into apartments.
