Originally built in 1976 it was soon to change hands when in 1898 it was sold to the wealthy scottish industrialist Sir Charles Tennant, who used it as an out of London house for entertaining.
The brewing family Charrington were custodians from 1911 until 1946 until it was sold to the Ministry of Supply in 1948.
After that it became home to Ministry of Defence from 1948 until 1996
Acompany then brought it with the intention of turning the house into a hotel and the grounds into a business park but hey proved a tad too ambitious and the company went into receivership and has been empty ever since
