Bary writes that Crotta had been built by the Ponsonby family and was later held on lease from the Court of Chancery by the Julian estate.

The house remained in the Gun family and their descendents until the early twentieth century when it was sold to the Land Commission by Ella Browne, grand-daughter of Wilson Gun.
