In 1943, the building was purchased by the Sisters of the Order of Saint Joseph to be used as a nunery, and was converted to classrooms and music rooms. 1980 saw the building sold once more, this time to be renovated and extended as a guesthouse, and renamed, the Drakesbrook Guesthouse .Mystery surrounds the Drakesbrook Guesthouse, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Legend has it that there is a ghost which frequents the building, though not much is known about it. Few people claim to have seen it, and have reported that it is the ghost of a little girl, though we are yet to uncover the story behind this mystery.As if the legend of a ghost wasn't enough, we have also discovered a void between two walls, which appears to measure 2m x 4m. The previous owners didn't even know it was there, and while no attempt has been made to find out why it exists, many suggestions have been put forward, providing a great topic of conversation between guests!
