Sycamore House is a Grade II listed building dating back to the mid-18th century and was originally part of Sycamore Dairy Farm. It was operated by local families at the heart of agricultural life in the area.
As Milton Keynes expanded in the mid-20th century, the use of the farmhouse also evolved, housing different organisations and was even used as a site office during construction of the nearby London overspill Lakes Estate.
In the late 1970s, a Victorian barn (also part of the farm) was incorporated into the newly built Sycamore Social Club later renamed as Sycamore Hall.
