[4][5] The main house was constructed in limestone ashlar with sandstone dressing ornamentation and architrave surrounds and pediments as well as fluted pilasters, plinth course, string course, quoins and parapet with balustrade.

[4] The interior of the property contains a double height entrance hall with original pieces of Georgian stucco work.

[4] Niches contain marbles and plaster busts while an arcaded balcony over looks the hall and links by a barrel vaulted corridor to other upstairs rooms in the house.

[7][8] The Gloster arch folly in the grounds of the house, which is also attributed to Edward Lovett Pearce,[9] was constructed in limestone rubble and lime mortar and includes a pedimented archway and flanking obelisks on plinths.

Some historians, including Maurice Craig,[11] believe but that it was almost entirely rebuilt in its current form around 1720 by Trevor Lloyd III, whose cousin, the architect Edward Lovett Pearce, was likely engaged to assist in the design of a grander and more fashionable Georgian Palladian-style residence.

[18][19][20] In 1797, John Lloyd's daughter Alice married Lawrence Parsons, 2nd Earl of Rosse of nearby Birr Castle.

[citation needed] The house and buildings operated as a secondary school mainly for female borders but closed in 1990.
