As it stood in 1540

The shape it held in its prime.

A rectangular, multi-storey stone manor with a steep, stone-slate roof and a large square chimney stack; the front has a projecting gabled entrance wing with a pointed arched doorway, several stone-mullioned windows with leaded panes, and vertical rainwater pipes on the façade. A low drystone perimeter wall encloses a narrow lawn and a straight paved stone path leads directly to the entrance. Wall stone is warm-grey rubble with squared window surrounds and simple stone dressings.
