Egerton House was built in 1891 for Lord Ellesmere. The house is painted red brick with applied timber frame decoration. Egerton House was leased in 1925 to Richard Marsh who was a trainer to the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, and to George V.

In 1925, the ownership apparently passed to the Earl of Ellesmere's third son. T.H. F. Egerton then sold the estate to Henry Lascelles, Viscount Lascelles, later Earl of Harewood.
