The site is easily accessible on elevated ground, making it visible from nearby roads. There is ample space for exploring around the building, with gardens and parkland providing a pleasant walking environment.

Baddow House is a large brick residence, not stone: it was built in 1883 for Edgar Thomas Aldridge, who named it after Great or Little Baddow in Essex, England, where he was born. The architect was Willoughby Powell and the builder Fritz Kinne.
