The original home forms part of what was the Bury Hill Estate owned by Viscount Grimston and covered 1600 acres of land between Dorking, Westcott, Coldharbour to the fringes of Holmwood along with many local estate houses. A subsequent owner, Robert Barclay, created a 'pleasure garden' with an ornamental lake and the house remained in the Barclay family for 150 years. It was occupied by the military in the Second World War and in 1949 the central section was destroyed in a fire and the two wings have remained separate ever since.
