The shape it held in its prime.
A large four‑storey battlemented pele tower of pale sandstone stands attached to a lower three‑storey Jacobean mansion block with regular rows of stone mullioned windows. The tower has a crenellated parapet; the mansion displays multiple tall chimney stacks along a pitched roofline. A lower gabled wing with arched openings adjoins the main range to the east. The house sits behind a wide grassy forefield with mature trees to one side; stone is weathered grey‑beige.
