The Grade I listed Georgian house was designed by English architect Anthony Salvin and dates back to 1833—as does Mamhead Castle behind the house, built as a charming folly and copy of the 14th century Belsay Castle in Northumberland.

Cholderton House is a 17th-century William and Mary style residence that has recently undergone an extensive property restoration by the award-winning architectural design firm Donald Insall and Partners.
