The house was first built and owned by Sir Thomas Foster whose descendant sold it to the Crowley family. Robert Chester, a director of the South Sea Company bought it in 1706 who made many substantial changes to the house and grounds, commissioning Charles Bridgeman to work on the gardens.

The house was owned by the 4th Baron Aldenham Walter Gibbs the Deputy Chairman of Westminster Bank.From 1941, Briggens House was used by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) as the main forgery operation to support their secret agents List of SOE agents and undercover special forces. When the house was requisitioned by the War Office the family was allowed to stay in residence which was very rare in cases such as this.

The house was requisitioned to train elite fighting troops known as the Cichociemni, (Silent and Unseen) selected from the Polish Home Army that had escaped to Britain. They trained in hand to hand combat, sabotage, and subversive activities.*

The House closed as a hotel in 2006 and now lies vacant and unloved.
