What is recorded here

Detached seven-bay two-storey over basement toy castle-style country house, built c.1780. The country house is finished in render with stone and moulded dressings. With the fall on the ground it is two-storey to the front and three-storey to the rear. The front door has a Gibbsian surround and is covered with a flat-roofed portico. This is set in a three-bay breakfront with a Venetian window to the first floor. Window openings are generally flat-headed with one over one timber sash frames. To each corner of the building there is an octagonal castellated tower. The hipped roof is finished with natural slate. The country house is set at the head of a long driveway within a large mature garden. The driveway begins with decorative wrought-iron gates and square panelled gate pillars.
