As it stood in 1845

The shape it held in its prime.

Long neoclassical ashlar block of warm sandstone with a raised piano nobile reached by a broad stone double staircase, flanked by symmetrical wings each with an added upper storey. A stone balustrade with urns runs along the roofline and terraces; rows of tall sash windows and arched glazing punctuate the façade. Formal gravel terraces and clipped box parterres lie below the terrace balustrade, with ornamental stone urns and statues; parkland and distant clumps of trees enclose the scene.
