The two-storey yellow palace with long wings faces Alexander Park and contains numerous named salons, private apartments and ceremonial rooms that were adapted and refitted across the 19th and early 20th centuries.

As it stood in 1913
The shape it held in its prime.
A long, low two-storey Neoclassical palace rendered in pale yellow with white pilasters and window surrounds; a symmetric façade of repeated tall sash and arched windows linked by a balustraded roofline and shallow central semicircular porticoes. The building sits behind a broad formal lawn and terraces, linked to surrounding parkland; stucco cornices, rusticated base courses and restrained classical ornament punctuate the rhythmic wings and central pavilion.
