Reused as art of the Sheffield College "one of the best 18th century houses in Sheffield" (Harman and Minnis 2004, 224). A surviving example of a series of large residences built along Sharrow Lane (part of the ancient route to Derbyshire and Manchester) in the late 18th century. Originally provided with ornamental gardens to the south (in the area of the present Mount Pleasant Park). By 1891 the building was in use as a girls Charity School. Significant legibility of 18th century elite residence and stable block.
