The property was renovated sometime between 2011[2] and 2019,[3] a process that removed its pebbledashing.

In 2014, a planning application was made to demolish three barns and erect six dwellings on the property, but the application was later withdrawn.[4]

History

For much of the 20th century and the early part of the 21st century, the property was owned by the Hodgkinson family. Thomas Hodgkinson died in 2008, aged 87;[5] his wife, Eunice, died three years later.[6]
