HistoryThe two pump houses were constructed in 1828 either side of'Mother Drain' part of system of drainage channels covering thesurrounding fens. Running parallel is the River Idle which meetsthe River Trent about a mile from the property.

When constructed the two buildings housed steam poweredbeam engines operating guillotine sluice gates. In the 20thcentury the pumps were replaced elsewhere and the buildingsbecame redundant, lying in a near derelict state for many years.Both buildings were listed Grade II* by English Heritage in 1984as being of architectural and historic interest. In 1994 the currentowners obtained planning consent to convert the buildings intothe residential property of high quality as can be seen today.
