Historic building record level 2 of an extant building on site was undertaken prior to its demolition. The house, originally known as Elloughton Rise, was built in 1868 or thereabout as a boarding school for boys. However, references to a school operating on the site appear to diminish and by the time of the 1881 census Elloughton Rise is noted as a private house resided by Joseph Atkinson whose occupancy is confirmed from additional Kelly's directories dating from the late 19th century through to the first quarter of the 20th century; and continued being occupied as a private residence with limited significant alteration to the building.
