The hall was built in the pointed style in 1780 and two lodges, Woodbridge Lodge and Ivy Lodge, were added in 1790. The hall was acquired by Peter Thellusson, a wealthy banker, in the name of his son, in 1796. The son, the 1st Lord Rendlesham, who went into politics as a Member of Parliament, occupied the hall.
The hall was destroyed by fire in 1830 and was rebuilt in Jacobean style to a design by William Burn. The works, which were carried out by Lucas Brothers were completed in 1870. The new building had eight reception rooms, including a ballroom, a conservatory, twenty-five principal bedrooms with dressing rooms, nine secondary and thirteen servants' bedrooms, five bathrooms, eleven lavatories and extensive domestic offices. There were twenty-five acres of grounds with tennis and croquet lawns, and a 4-acre walled kitchen garden in a park which extended to 250 acres .
