A broad, symmetrical Neo‑Renaissance château frontage in warm ashlar stone with a two‑storey main range, high attic storey and many tall mullioned windows; steep slate mansard and conical roofs crowned by ornate iron cresting, finials and numerous tall chimneys. A central pedimented entrance pier projects beneath a flagstaff; round and square towers bookend the façades. The house faces a formal south parterre and a wide gravel approach across clipped lawns and specimen trees.
