As it stood in 1840

The shape it held in its prime.

Broad west-facing ashlar façade of a three-storey country house, with a rusticated basement and regularly spaced tall rectangular sash windows. A central double stone staircase rises to a principal entrance beneath three wide ground-floor arches; a balustraded parapet with urns and statuary runs along the roofline. The front faces an open clipped-lawn forecourt with a low reflecting oval pond and aligned avenues of clipped lime trees, with wooded parkland beyond.
