 The house also appears in the 1973 BBC documentary by Sir John Betjeman, Metro-land.In 1962, it was divided into two separate dwellings in a (successful) effort to save it from demolition.In the 1960s a large part of the grounds of the house were sold off to developers and the drive was re-used to make an adopted road, Highover Park, serving approximately 50 1960s detached, semi-detached and town houses.
