1683 Following generations of Eden family ownership, the house passed to John Littel after John Edens death.
17261741 The property passed through the Eden family before George Sawbridge Littels bankruptcy led to its sale, ending almost 150 years of Eden ownership.
1743 Purchased by John Piper, a Sudbury weaver and silk merchant. His initials and the date JP 1743 are believed to be carved into the entrance hall fireplace. The property later passed by dowry to the Sperling family.
1945 Purchased by Mrs Garner, who operated the house as a hotel.
1959 Sold to John and Angela Hodges, who undertook significant restoration, including reopening historic windows in the north faade.
1972 The entire house was moved to higher ground on Ballingdon Hill. The move enabled alterations to the north wing, removal of later additions and extensive interior remodelling, including additional bedrooms and bathrooms.
