Situated in 365 acres of Parkland. There was believed to be a large Manorial house on the site as long ago as 1202. In 1754 the Brandling family who were mining and business owners resided here. At the time they were the main employers of the local area. This building became the clubhouse of Middleton Park Municipal Golf Club.
