As it stood in 1811
The shape it held in its prime.
A long Baroque garden (south) façade of pale ashlar stone, with a central block capped by a high lead-covered dome and gilded finial, flanked by two symmetrical low wings ending in domed pavilions. Two storeys of tall arched sash windows set between classical pilasters, a triangular pediment over the central bay, and a balustraded roofline crowded with urns and statuary. A broad formal lawn and clipped yew hedges lead to a raised stone fountain and steps at the centre.
