The house is listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England, and its gardens are also listed Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.[1][2]

History

The house was designed by Sir Robert Taylor in the Georgian style and built for William Clayton, a Member of Parliament, in 1753.[9] The house remained in the Clayton family until 1950.[10] The present owners, who have owned the property since 1952,[11] converted the property to office use in 1988.[12] They operate a large marina and offer boat mooring services[9] but plan to convert the property into flats.[12]
