As it stood in 1840
The shape it held in its prime.
Three-storey ashlar-faced castellated façade with a crenellated parapet and square angle towers flanking a slightly recessed central bay; two cylindrical battlemented turrets rise above the central entrance. The main entrance is a pointed Gothic-arched doorway set between shallow projecting pilaster-like buttresses. Windows mix tall pointed-arch sash or mullioned openings on the ground floor with rectangular sash windows above. Light-grey warm-toned stone, gravel forecourt and planted shrub borders at the base, village trees visible to one side.
