Although approximately the site of a medieval castle, this 18th century house is what can be seen today. The castle was mentioned in a document of the 12th century, though it is not mentioned after this point. Excavations by archaeologists have found remains dating to the 15th century. These may have been from part of the castle. This site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade 2* listed building protected by law.
The current house was built in circa 1765, with later additions.
