When owner Leonard Terry put his house on the market it was described in the Argus of 6 July 1872 as, "That spacious and substantially built FAMILY MANSION, containing drawingroom 18ft x 16ft, dining room 18ft x 16ft, schoolroom 27ft x 14ft ; five bedrooms 18ft x 16ft, 18ft x 16ft, 16ft.
Leonard Terry built the house for himself and family. He married twice and had nine children, hence the need for a school room. Matthew Lang, the second owner, appears to have turned this room over to another use. He moved out in 1887, after the death of his son. He continued to own the house until his own death in 1893, and from then until c.1923 it remained in his estate.
