As it stood in 1520
The shape it held in its prime.
A long, fortress-like stone frontage of roughly coursed grey local stone with a central recessed arched gateway set into a crenellated curtain wall; the façade is punctuated by tall rectangular gabled blocks and narrow slit windows, with several mullioned windows and tall stone chimneys breaking the roofline. The building stands behind a trimmed lawn and straight paved drive, with a separate lower kitchen range to one side and a low stone curtain wall enclosing small formal gardens.
