Fittingly, 21 years on in 2001, international Artist, Kitty North from Yorkshire, Northern England travelled to 1770 to purchase the home. In 2017 the property was purchased by the current owners, first as a holiday home and later a part time residence, continuing to host guests when the home was not required.
