XVIIth century castle
The castle was built in brick and stone around 1680, using
local stone. It comprises a main building with a projecting
central fore-building, flanked by two wings constructed at
right angles. This section is in brick and stone and has double
pitch roofs. The two wings, which extend the original building,
are lower and in stone, whereas the outbuildings, the coach
shed and stables, were rebuilt respectively in 1834 and 1842.
The elevation of the dwelling is three floors on a sandstone
base with stone harp-shaped bonding except on the central
fore-building where the clamps are rectilinear.
Access to the estate is through an avenue, lined with plane
trees, ending in a XVIIIth century main gate. Stables and
sheds are XIXth century. The octagonal dovecote is XVIIth
century.
