External appearance today shows typically diminishing window depths to top floor separated by string courses, raised parapet with large urns, sectional hipped roof, bowed asymmetric infill in east elevation, Venetian pillared porch, eighteenth-century kitchen wing. Internally has hall with Doric columns and ornate ceilings and panels. A few ancillary buildings survive as garden and courtyard features.
