As it stood in 1720
The shape it held in its prime.
A long-built country house formed around the square medieval tower core at the rear, with early-18th-century wings enclosing a west-facing entrance court; stone-built elevations step up from the older tower to the later symmetrical wings. At the east a projecting staircase turret and an oriel window rise above the rear range. Interiors at their prime include the late 16th-century Great Chamber with extensive oak panelling, painted friezes and ribbed plaster ceilings.
