The hall, a 15,440 square feet (1,434 m2) largely intact early 19th-century picturesque Gothic Revival house, is a Grade II* listed building,[2][3] and its well preserved park and gardens are listed, also at Grade II*, on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.

During the 136 years of Pugh ownership, the house underwent many adaptations, including the introduction of the fairy-tale castellations and turrets in the Gothic Revival style (1820).

The majority of the original 2000 acres of the Pugh Estate were sold off over time, culminating in the sale of the Hall itself in 1912 to a Liverpool cotton trader, Hugh Verdon.

The house, in its current form is situated in approximately 5 acres of stunning countryside, within the protected Grade II* listed Repton parkland.

Its main centre was possibly the Welshpool motte and bailey castle (Domen Castell) built by Cadwgan ap Bleddyn in 1111,[11] but there are at least three other motte and baileys within the small commote including Powis Castle (Castell Coch) and Ladies Mount.
