It was built originally for William Hudson Scott of the Hudson, Scott & Sons business, and the architect was George Dale Oliver, who designed it in the style of Alfred Waterhouse. After Scott died in 1907, it was used as a boarding school until 1966, when it was returned to residential use and converted into flats. The building is Grade II listed for statutory protection for its architectural and historic interest. [1] [2]
