Summary

A grand late 18th century house, possibly with an older core. The impressive west façade is three storeys high with a slightly projecting central bay. The house has a full height lean-to on the east and a modern extension at the southeast. A possible medieval moated site stretches away from the house to the southwest, but this could be a later landscape feature.
