Recorded as early as 1738 the Manor House used to be surrounded by cottages. The Manor itself belonged to Bec Abbey and then Eton College between 1100 and 1885 so there was no Lord of the Manor for the village. In 1306 there was a Grange on the site but when Eton took over in the mid 15th century they took over the house eventually building a new one before 1606. In the 1700s another house was built to replace this original Manor House mansion. This is what survives today.
It was in this period that the name became Cottisford House when Laurence Lord (junior) was tenant. It is built of coursed rubble with ashlar quoins and has two stories. In the roof are attic dormers amid the red tiles.
William Turner took over the lease in 1825 and made some additions which included removing all of the houses which stood around the church. He planted the trees we see today and landscaped the pleasure gardens around the house itself. Since then it has been restored to a fine quality. There is a dovecote in the garden which was recorded in 1773 when the estate was sold.
