It was demolished in the early 17th century by Robert Belt, who constructed a new hall within the moat, probably reusing building materials from the castle.
It was partly rebuilt in the 18th century, and its external appearance now dates to this period;[1][2] Historic England describes it as "not outstanding".
[3] The building was Grade II listed in 1953,[4] and the site, including the largely-intact moat, was made a scheduled monument in 1993.
The doorway has a divided fanlight, the windows are sashes with flat brick arches, and in the attics are five dormers with casements.
There are two projecting chimney stacks flanked by small 17th-century casement windows with decorative brick pediments.
