Although in a ruinous condition, the former Cooperhill demesne continues to play an important role in the surrounding landscape. The main house was originally a six-bay two-storey house with a three-storey elevation to the side and rear. It had a two-bay pedimented breakfront and had a grand doorcase with segmental-headed pediment flanked by two small windows. The main house, outbuildings and extensive walled gardens are extant and provide a point of drama in the landscape. The walled gardens, complete with brick interior walls are in a fair condition and their survival contributes further to Cooperhill's significance.
