The house from a circa 1902 postcard
Built / Designed For: The Rev. Tobias Rustat
House & Family History: Built as a rectory for The Rev. Tobias Rustat in the early 18th century, in the 19th century Dutch gables (removed in the 1940s) were added for The Rev. Thomas Mills. After a fire destroyed parts of the house in 1984, a restoration was carried out in 1987 that also included the addition of a west wing, which contains a swimming pool, a squash court, and a game room.
Garden & Outbuildings: The garden covers 49 acres. The northwest coach house is today a private home.
