Historically this house has had a variety of spellings ranging from Dallicot to Dalicote, and is one of the several capital mansions within the parish of Claverley.

What one sees today is essentially a mid-eighteenth century red brick house, circa 1745, of five bays and two-and-a-half storeys surmounted by a nineteenth-century balustrade punctuated parapet. To each side of the main block at the lower level are two storey wings of two bays that probably date from the early nineteenth century. The ground floor windows are arched, emphasised by keystones and being set into arched recesses. In front of the main block’s five bays is a nineteenth-century open arched single storey verandah. The east-facing entrance front overlooks a pool, its V-shaped form parallel to the drive as it sweeps up to the front of the house.

Dallicott was originally a property of the Grosvenor or Gravenor family who owned both High Grosvenor and Dallicott in Claverley. It was inherited by Sarah (d. 1763), the daughter of William Grosvenor, who, in 1709, married Edward Smith, son of John Smith of Hilton near Claverley. Their son William (1716–1796) had married Elizabeth Hurtle, daughter and co-heir of Samuel Hurtle of Sutton, and Dallicott was inherited by their daughter, Mary, the wife of Robert Wilkes of Sutton in Claverley. The Wilkes had sons who died without issue and so Dallicott passed to their daughter, Elizabeth (d. 1837), who had married Thomas Worrall Grazebrook (1756–1816) of Stourton Castle in Staffordshire, in 1805. Their son and successor, Thomas Worrall Smith Grazebrook (1809–1846) was described as of Dallicott and of Stourton but, having not married, he was succeeded at his death by his sister, Elizabeth (1808–1862) who had married George McKenzie Kettle of Bladon near Burton-on-Trent in 1841.

Once again, the inheritance of Dallicott passed through the female line, since the Kettles’ daughter, Elizabeth Clara McKenzie Kettle, who in 1865 married Thomas John Franks, came into the estate. After his wife’s death, Franks held a sale of the contents of Dallicott in 1897 and thereafter the Franks family seems to have resided elsewhere. Their eldest son, Major-General Sir George McKenzie Franks CB (1868–1958) served in the Royal Artillery and had a distinguished military career, serving in the Wazirstan Expeditions of 1894–8 and in the Nile campaign. In 1906 Dallicott is recorded as being occupied by Major A. Gilroy.
