Editorial reading
The record describes a rectangular house raised on the east side by the slope, with gabled dormers and two stair towers, a gate flanked by two towers on the north of the court, one of them a chapel, the dovecote in the north-west corner, outbuildings contemporary with the house and an older pavilion in the south-east. The enclosure wall reaches a domed turret to the south. The 1947 listing names the park and its enclosure wall, together with that south-west turret of the park enclosure.
