[2] Features of the estate include an arched stone bridge, a ha-ha, a woodland garden and parkland.
The hall itself was built in the later part of the 17th century "to an extremely old-fashioned layout".
[3] Ralph Leycester (1763–1835), MP for Shaftesbury (1821–1830),[4] commissioned the London architect Samuel Pepys Cockerell to renovate the hall between 1810 and 1813.
These improvements included the addition of a library, dining-room and twin towers.
[6] In 2010–12 the Hall was extensively renovated and extended with a rear orangery, to the designs of Mason Gillibrand Architects of Lancaster.
