Interior not viewed, but reputed to contain original decorations and fittings.

House should have been designed by Gimson, but his costs too high, according to information from Mr Mildmay, son of the original client. A very splendid and restrained example of the Cotswold Country House style of the period, virtually unaltered. See also CL.
