This Grade II Listed building was built in the early part of the 19th century and, along with the nearby Manor House, was described in the 'Earsdon Village Conservation Area Character Appraisal' (North Tyneside Council May 2011), "whose impressive scale sees them standing proud amongst more modest-scale properties". Particularly prominent to the passer-by is the central 6-panelled door in a Tuscan porch. It is indeed a very grand house.

A Primitive Methodist Chapel was first built in Earsdon in 1825, and is shown on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area published in 1865 as being located immediately behind (south of) what is now the Red Lion Public House. It was replaced by the present stone-built chapel, with schoolroom and vestries, in 1886 and although it appears to be small from this angle it has a large basement and an extension to the rear.
