Welcome!

Bean Tree View is part of a large Georgian House (often referred to as a mansion....). The house was built around 1760, with later (mostly Victorian) additions. Its first known resident was a Rev. Farnham Haskell and his son-in-law Peard Jillard. Little is known about their stay, although Peard Jillard sold the house in 1806.

In 1819 Col. Thomas Patton and his new wife Matilda (nee Winsloe - her uncle was the founder of The Times) began a long residency! They had nine children whilst living here and before her death Matilda Patton (known as Old Mrs Patton) was the longest living resident in Bishops Hull.

Mr and Mrs Manley lived in the house between 1889 and 1904, then in 1904 the house was purchased by the Philip Waterfield and his wife Pheobe Waterfield (nee Coates) who made Victorian changes to the house (changed the windows, added front and back porches and added the north wing - now Bean Tree View!). Waterfield Drive (off Bishops Hull Road) was named after Pheobe Waterfield who was a very active member of the Parish Council, and a very popular figure in the village. Pheobe later lived in Eagle House - build in the grounds of Bishops Hull House (now our next door neighbor). The eagle on the gatepost of Eagle House - used to sit above the porch at Bishops Hull House - presumably taken when eagle house was built and named. It was replaced with a strange looking lion!

I am unsure what year Thomas Dennis Westcott bought the house - but he sold it in 1939 - to Cecil Horne Stafford. It was sold again in 1946 to James White Jackdon Knowles.

Unfortunately, the house was turned into a business in 1962 when the Natwest bank converted the house into their HQ. It changed hands again when South West Learning bought the house - they leased the top floor to Barnardos. In 2016 South West Learning went into administration and the house was again put onto the market.

This is where we come in! After a long and painful journey getting planning/listed building permission, we eventually bought the house in May 2017, and set about the long and arduous task of returning the house to a home rather than a business.

Being so large, and with a very convenient area of the house that could be sectioned off to be a private area, we decided to convert this section into a holiday let. After getting essentials in the main part of the house - such as a kitchen and bathroom, we got to work on the annex. It has a brand new...well...everything! Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room and dining room. Prior to this the area consisted of offices, a ladies loo’s (four toilets with cubicles), a photocopying/post room, and a stationery room! We have removed all of this as well as add its own entrance, remove partitions, and added an internal doorway. It was purpose built - and we hope we have thought of everything!
