The shape it held in its prime.

A rectangular four-storey tower house of light-coloured masonry, roughly 70 by 28 feet, with narrow square-headed windows stacked across each level and pronounced horizontal bands of stone between storeys. The roofline is finished with a band of crenellation. Attached service ranges sit to the rear and a separate ruined tower stands to the northeast; low coursed stone boundary walls and an iron entrance gate open from a gravel drive amid trees on Church Hill.
