As it stood in 1866
The shape it held in its prime.
A long, rendered Elizabethan manor block of three storeys with repeating stepped gables and steep slate roofs, punctuated by many tall clustered red-brick chimneys; an older grey-stone service wing with a small round tower adjoins one end. The house sits inside low D-shaped medieval stone curtain walls that create a paved forecourt and small courtyard; outside these lie a sequence of formal terraced gardens with clipped hedges, stone steps and paths, parkland trees and lawns.
