It has a fascinating history, having once been a local inn known as The Race Horse and later renamed The Running Horse, land lorded by George Nicholls a retired coastguard and reputedly visited by Thomas Hardy in the 1860s.

The Running Horse finally closed its doors in 1926 and is immortalised in the book ‘Sheep Spirits and Smugglers’ by Sarah Woodcock.

The kitchen was previously the skittle alley for The Running Horse.

This impressive house was subject to a major refurbishment programme in 2013.
