Built for George Wostenholm by William Flockton, in grounds set out by Robert Marnock in 1844. Much of the grounds, including its lake and 1864 gatehouse, survive in the grounds of the present hotel. Wostenholme was responsible for engaging Marnock (during 1851-1861) to lay out a series of curving roads radiating from the 'rond-point' to the north of the grounds of Kenwood (Harman and Minnis 2004, 231). These roads would form the skeleton of the 'Kenwood' district (as identified by the Nether Edge Conservation Area Appraisal (SCC 2002)), which would be built up over the following 50 years as a grand 'villa development'. A Fairbank map of 1795 shows this area to have been previously characterised by thin narrow piecemeal subdivisions of possible earlier open fields. No legibility of earlier historic landscapes.
