It has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since 1963.[1]

It is a former rectory and dates back to about 1500, and was extended in the late 18th century and again in about 1800.[1]

In 1951, The Rectory, as it was then known, was sold to art historian and administrator Sir John Rothenstein, who renamed it Beauforest House.[2] In 2014, it was owned by Christopher Brett, 5th Viscount Esher.[2]
