What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey over basement country house built in c.1730, remodelled in c.1815 with single-storey over basement canted bays added to the east and west in 1870. The house is basically square in plan with a recessed bay to the front with projecting tetrastyle Doric portico. The walls are finished in unpainted lined render and rise to a dressed granite parapet with cornice, whilst the hipped roof is slated and has large rendered chimneystacks. The entrance consists of a panelled timber door with large rectangular fanlight and semi-circular headed sidelight windows with one over one timber sash frames. Unlike the sidelights, the majority of the windows are flat-headed, but like the sidelights they all have one over one timber sash frames. Cast-iron rainwater goods. Outbuildings to the rear of the house. The house is set within an extensive well wooded demesne.
