The property was designed by John Johnson (c 1775) for Colonel James Money and was originally described as 'a handsome house'. It is constructed of limestone decorated with grey Kingsthorpe sandstone as described and featured in Northamptonshire Stone by Dr. D.S. Sutherland. The Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII then the Duke of Windsor) and the Duke of York (later King George VI) were regular visitors, coming to Pitsford to hunt with the Pytchley Hunt. The Dower House was later used as a billiards room to Pitsford Hall.
