As it stood in 1600

The shape it held in its prime.

A stone-built house whose core is a 16th-century peel tower: a vertical masonry block of dressed local stone forming the dominant mass, adjoined by lower domestic ranges with pitched roofs and chimneys. The composition presents a clear tower silhouette rising above surrounding lower house elements, all set within broad estate grounds; nearby outbuildings and planned garden plots lie close to the main house. At its prime the masonry and rooflines are complete and occupied.
