I came across it, quite literally, driving up the road, following my instincts as to direction. It was a bit of a shock or surprise as it stood there in glorious isolation. There are more modern buildings adjacent now.
That was probably mid 1980s. Ten years later and my wife’s mother and brother moved close by, so we have passed it more frequently.
It seems that there were hedonistic goings on at one time, involving various rock stars, due to the relative isolation of the property and therefore lack of nosey nimbys.
You have it Martin
