The shape it held in its prime.
A substantial sandstone palace with a formal south-facing main entrance flanked on each side by two Corinthian pilasters and surmounted by a deep, bracketed pediment; the building is roofed in lead and set within a broad avenue and manicured park. The western façade shows the outline of the old tower walls incorporated into the new block. Internally the principal stair is a carved marble stairwell with marble chimney-pieces and an ornate bas-relief.
