The house was for a long time the property of the Barlow family, whose estates were sold to the Egertons in 1785. It was the birthplace in 1585 of Ambrose Barlow, a Roman Catholic priest hanged at Lancaster Castle in 1641.

Since 1903 it has been the home of Chorlton-cum-Hardy Golf Club.{{cite web|url=http://www.chorltoncumhardygolfclub.co.uk/clubhouse.html |title=The Clubhouse |publisher=Chorlton-cum-Hardy Golf Club |access-date=23 September 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071217181342/http://www.chorltoncumhardygolfclub.co.uk/clubhouse.html |archive-date=17 December 2007}}{{cite book|title=The Golfing Annual|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xC0PAQAAMAAJ|access-date=23 September 2011|year=1910|publisher=H.
