As it stood in 1678
The shape it held in its prime.
A five-storey oblong stone tower house of rough grey-brown sandstone with steep slate roofs and stepped gables at the ends. The principal façade shows narrow, rectangular windows and a projecting corbelled stair-turret; a low stone curtain wall with a central arched entrance links a small courtyard to the tower. The building sits on grassy grounds framed by trees, approached by an unpaved drive across estate fields. At its prime the tower was complete with full roofline and intact courtyard walls.
