Hi again Janet The Coates family did live there for a while. Tony actually lived in one of the flats at the house up until late last year. We were totally fascinated by the house so we decided to have a little dig into its history! It would have been a very grand house in its day. If you would like any pictures of the house as it is today, we can mail them off list to you.
