History |
The property has a fascinating history dating from 1086, when the Park was held, with the Manor of Broadwater, by the Sauvage family, then was later exchanged with de Broase, reverting to their Mowbray heirs, and eventually to the Howards, Dukes of Norfolk.
It seems that the first house to be built on the site of the present house, was constructed in 1608, when it was described as having "four chambers and garretts, with one barn, faire orchard and gardens thereunto adjoining."
The house in its current state was built by Mr and Mrs Robert Henderson, and was completed in 1886, to a design created by Ernest George and Harold Peto.
