The house stands in gardens which retain part of the moat and ancient yew trees.

[2] The house was then rented by Professor John Frederick Wilkinson (1897-1998) and his wife Marion (née Crossfield, 1920–2003), until 2003.

[3] The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner describes the plan of the house as being "irregular", and that it is "evidently only a fragment".

The left hand portion of the northwest front dates from 1612 and consists of four bays with a central gable.

The south west front is symmetrical with three bays and a central arched doorway containing the entrance door.

[1] Associated with the house are two structures that are designated by English Heritage as Grade II listed buildings.
