Background
History
The spot was originally chosen as a residence by George Arnold of Ashby Lodge, Northamptonshire, who added to the original cottage—one of the farmhouses of the area. The house was built in the cottage style and was enlarged at different periods. This has given it an irregular but not unpleasing appearance. It has one apartment which is adorned with pictures.
