As it stood in 1840
The shape it held in its prime.
A mid‑19th century neo‑Gothic castellated house in grey ashlar stone, dominated by a central, keep‑like tower and a lower crenellated gatehouse with an arched carriageway. Flanking round and square turrets rise from curtain‑like facades punctured by tall vertical windows and narrow slit openings. The roofline is defined by stepped parapets and corbelled battlements. The building sits on lawns edged with specimen trees and rhododendrons, with the fells and Windermere visible beyond.
