As it stood in 1796
The shape it held in its prime.
A Classical-style castellated three-storey country house of pale dressed stone with a symmetrical seven-bay frontage; the central bay is flanked by two full-height round drum towers. A low crenellated parapet runs along the flat roofline, and regular multi-pane sash windows occupy the bays in vertical alignment. The house sits on a sloping drive and lawns above the River Derwent, set amid mature trees and pleasure-ground planting, with an arched entrance beside the left-hand tower.
