History - In the second quarter of the 18th Century, the timber-framed house on the site was completely rebuilt for the Bristowe family as a well-proportioned, but essentially vernacular, 5 bay, 3 storey edifice, with sash fenestration decorated with rusticated lintels and keyblocks. The south front was rebuilt reusing earlier materials by George Bridgart of Derby in 1857, who was also responsible for the former farm buildings. In 1897 the last Bristowe sold the house to the Harpur-Crewe estate, but its role as a farm did not change.
