With grounds remodelled by Humphry Repton in around 1792, it was then extended with flanking wings by Henry Harrison of London in 1831.

[2] In 2008, the property was bought for £9 million by businessman Marcus Evans,[3] then consisting of an estate covering some 1737 acres, with a 2.5 miles frontage on the River Fal.

The front is constructed of finely coursed slate-stone while the other external walls are made of rubble stone or faced with brick.

The east front is symmetrical with seven windows, the central three bays being advanced under a plain pediment.

To the left are two small mullioned windows that have possibly been reused from an earlier version of the house.
