As it stood in 1841

The shape it held in its prime.

Long, horizontal ashlar mansion in a castellated Gothic-revival style set on a low wooded rise. The roofline is defined by a continuous crenellated parapet and several projecting tower or turret sections, including a taller central tower rising above the main block. Facades show regularly spaced vertical windows in rectangular bays and dressed pale stone. The house sits amid mixed deciduous trees and parkland, the mass of the building visible above the tree-line from a distance.
