Detached seven-bay three-storey over basement Gothic Revival castle started c.1785. Built on the site and probably incorporating the fabric of an earlier house/castle. Constructed of roughly coursed limestone with finely dressed quoins. Built largely on a symmetrical rectangular plan with full-height square towers to corners and battlemented parapet. Front (north) elevation has two additional square turrets flanking a projecting single-storey entrance porch with battlements. Machicolation to centre of front elevation. The rear (south) elevation is marked by a prominent three-bay bow, which is raised above the rest of the building to form a battlemented round tower. Square-headed window openings with hoodmouldings, tooled stone sills and timber sash windows. Two castellated gateways with lodges, a Gothick style stable block and a number of outbuildings to site.
