It was built by Ambrose and Bridget Rotton whose initials are carved over the porch. There is also an insurance plate on the front.

In 1926, the company's successor, the London, Midland and Scottish railway purchased the house with a view to demolishing it. There was a public outcry and the house was saved. There were further plans to demolish the house in 1950 as it was in a dilapidated state. However, it was bought in 1954 by Ivon Adams who restored it.
