Death duties, upkeep and financial difficulties meant I just had to get rid of it (...) It was perfectly sound and in good order when it was demolished (...) Now it looks like a nuclear bomb hit it.” (dt.: „Kein Sterblicher hätte es sich leisten können, das Landhaus zu erhalten. So ließ ich es abreißen. Erbschaftssteuern, Erhaltungskosten und finanzielle Schwierigkeiten bedeuteten für mich, dass ich es einfach loswerden musste (...) Es war ganz unbeschädigt und in gutem Zustand, als es abgerissen wurde (...) Jetzt sieht es aus, als hätte es eine Atombombe getroffen.“) Heute ist alles, was von dem Haus übriggeblieben ist, die aus Bögen bestehende Vorfahrtshalle, die Charles Brett als „einem römischen Arc de Triomphe ähnlich“ beschreibt.
