What Stone Castle looked like in its prime.
Low, flint-faced castellated house with a gently curved tower at the left, continuous crenellated parapet along the roofline, and a projecting gabled stone entrance porch with a tall pointed-arch window beside a recessed doorway. Wall surfaces are dark flint with lighter stone dressings around openings; ivy climbs large sections of the façades. The house sits directly beside a sweeping circular asphalt drive with a closely-mown lawn in the foreground and suburban buildings beyond.
