The Talbot family commissioned a country house named "Wood End", which was constructed in the 1660s or 1670s. In 1794, it was purchased by the Compton family, the work including the construction of stables, east and west lodges, and the laying out of the grounds, to a design by Samuel Crompton. In the early 20th century it was owned by Clare Vyner, who set up a horseracing stud farm.

The property has since been run as a stud, with owners including Edward Stanley, 17th Earl of Derby, Victor Sassoon, and John Scott-Ellis, 9th Baron Howard de Walden.
