Located in Brading, dating from 1607 by Sir John Oglander, an E-shaped house which comprises the centre portion of the present building and the south half of the west wing. Sir John was host to Charles I on his last night of freedom Thursday November 18th 1647. In 1716 William Oglander rebuilt the east wing except for the south part and the central block was remodelled and refaced at this time. Sir William Oglander, Sir John's great grandson (1767-1806) added the north end of the west wing, the south end of the east wing and the bay in the centre of the east front and refaced most of the house in brick with grey headers. Further extensions were added in the late 19th and early 20th century. The Oglander family owned the house until Colonel Aylmer bought it in 1982 and has continued the tradition of there being a military man at the helm of the household. The house is Grade II* Listed.
