| An important example of a medium-sized brick-built Elizabethan manor house, the building is architecturally distinguished and well preserved, with notable early 17th-century wall paintings. The property is rumoured to have connections with the Gunpowder Treason Plot. 'Bee boles' can be seen in the walled garden. The property is managed by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. | | | | Further to the award of a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, building work is expected to commence early 2008 to improve access and interpretation of the house: some areas will therefore be inaccessible to visitors.
