Mirables was sold in about 1873, although Coape replaced it with a house at Ryde (Isle of Wight) which became his main home. Ashby Lodge was sold in the 1880s to Paul Hibbert of Bilton Hall (Warks), a half-brother of the 17th Earl of Shrewsbury, who further altered the house and built a Catholic chapel nearby. James Coape’s son H.F.J. Coape-Arnold (1846-1923) settled on his father's death in 1889 at Wolvey Hall, where he rebuilt the old house, which already by the 1820s was regarded as a farmhouse and unfit for gentry occupation. His father's house in Ryde was sold and he was left with just Wolvey Hall and the Goldhanger lands. The eldest son, Cranfield Coe Henry Coape-Arnold (1873-1963) inherited the Wolvey and Goldhanger estates, but died unmarried and left Wolvey to his niece, Georgiana Mary Coape-Arnold (1906-87) and her husband George Edwin Burbidge. Their descendants are the present beneficiaries of the family trust which now owns the estate, and their grandson, Oliver Charles Freeman, is the present occupier of Wolvey Hall.
