| Description |
A house built after the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837) was surveyed. Mrs D. Delap was the owner and occupier in the mid-19th century when the buildings were valued at £13. There is a reference to W.C. Peyton of Billis Grange in a document in the Farnham Papers, Ms 11,499 (NLI). The building was possibly extended towards the end of the 19th century. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage dates the present house c. 1890. The 25 inch map shows a substantial house in parkland with a lodge at the entrance gate. In 1906, Henry Sankey held over 300 untenanted acres in this locality including a building with a rateable valuation of £16.10.0. This house continues to be a family residence. |
