Built around 1760 on the site of two pre-existing burglary plots, the house was the home of Leonard Raw, a Quaker lead mine owner from Swaledale. The style is a mixture of Georgian Gothick and more traditional Georgian: so the front facade with its bay windows with extensive tracery is Gothic, as is much of the interior with smaller rooms than usual, small round doors used to indicate private areas and winding passageways, while the rear is more traditional with a south-facing salon on the first floor in piano nobile style.

The second owner, Mr Goodburne, gave the house its name, Goodburn House, and was an influential racehorse owner at the time when Richmond was famous for its racecourse. He was also a keen gardener and probably created the large town garden which lies to the rear of the property, facing south and sloping towards the River Swale.

There is still evidence of the earlier two properties, particularly in the cellars which are vaulted and contain an earlier well said to have served Newbiggin.
