The Manor house with medieval fabric and later work - said to be one of Hampshire's most haunted buildings, was acquired by a Trust in 2013. A condition survey and an investigation into options for future sustainable uses have been completed with grant aid from Historic England and the Architectural Heritage Fund. The house is in need of some structural repair, general renovation and a new use. It currently hosts events including ghost hunts.
