The Grade I listed building, described by Chris Pickford and Nikolaus Pevsner as "the most important and impressive High Victorian house in the county", is now a hotel.

[1] According to Alice Dryden: Sir Ralph Shirley leased the manor in 1509 to John and Agnes Underhill, for a term of 80 years.

Extensive repairs occurred under him; a large part of the building was taken down and a smaller one constructed with the original materials.

The house is constructed in yellow and grey banded limestone ashlar with a roof of stone slate.

[4] The style is Neo Gothic, the architectural historian Charles Eastlake noting significant Ruskinian influences.

[6] Eastlake provides support for Pickford and Pevsner in attributing the house, called Eatington Park in the mid-19th century, solely to Prichard.
